Police launch probe into assault of civilian at outpost

FOLLOWING the viral circulation of a video which was reportedly taped by a man, who showed up at the Police Outpost at Water Street in the vicinity of Muneshwer’s building to make a report that he was being threatened, but was met with both verbal and physical assault, has engaged the attention of the hierarchy of the Guyana Police Force (GPF).

The video surfaced via Gordon Moseley after which Commander of ‘A’ Division, Marlon Chapman, said an investigation has been launched. The video which did not reveal the identity of the man showed two policemen: a constable and a corporal refusing to take the man’s report and directed him to do so at the Brickdam Police Station.

But the man refused to be sent off and demanded that his report be filed, as a result of which he was assaulted by the Corporal, who told him to get out of the police outpost with his beer bottle, which the video did not show.
