The warrants were being prepared by officers of the Woodbrook Police Station and charges of wounding with intent are expected to be laid against Montano and Perreira.
Both singers have been accused of stabbing San Fernando resident Joel White with a bottle on February 28,2006, outside a nightclub on Cipriani Boulevard.
White, of Mon Repos, left for Singapore on Wednesday night where he boarded a flight to Malaysia. He is accompanying a group of Trinidadian dancers.
Efforts to contact Montano and his mother Liz were unsuccessful.

The other charge is that Montano along with Le Blanc, Roberts and Fezeck assaulted Russell Pollonais.
The other charge against Montano, states that on April 26 he used "obscene language to annoyance of other persons".
Fezeck is currently on $50,000 bail, while Roberts has been granted $25,000 and Le Blanc $30,000 bail.
Their matter is expected to start in August.
