(Loop news) Prime Minister of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Dr. Ralph Gonsalves, is back home after undergoing a MRI scan in Barbados for a head injury sustained during a protest action in Kingstown last Thursday.

He touched down in SVG after 16:00hrs on Monday. Supporters came out of their homes; some parked their vehicles on the side of the roadway to view a motorcade that transported Gonsalves from the Argyle International Airport to his home.

Gonsalves who turned 75 years old on August 8, suffered a concussion as a result of the object which hit him in his head. The prime minister will quarantine at home for 48 hours before he returns to work.

On August 9, a vendor from Layou, Annamay Lewis, 56, appeared before a Kingstown Magistrate where she entered a not guilty plea to the charge of wounding the prime minister.
She was granted bail in the sum of EC$3,000 with one surety. The matter was adjourned to September 15.

The Royal St Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force in a statement on Sunday indicated that charges are likely to be laid against other persons as the investigations continue.
