A well-known dentist, of Eccles, East Bank Demerara had his licensed firearm seized by the police on Saturday night during a scuffle with the owner of a city television station.

Reports said that the dentist and a group of friends were drinking at Flat Shop, a ‘watering hole’ also at Eccles, when the television station owner and his friends arrived there.

It was during an argument over politics that the dentist, offended by the man’s statements, pulled his weapon on the television station owner.

The Police were summoned and seized the dentist’s firearm.
