Station diary seized

 

SENIOR cops at the Sangre Grande Police Station have seized the station’s diary as investigations continue into a brawl in a bar in the area involving a policeman and two brothers a week ago.

Investigators are now interviewing the four officers who were involved in the arrest of the brothers, for allegedly beating one of their colleagues attached to the Sangre Grande Task Force.

The high drama began when three off-duty lawmen were “liming” in a bar on the Eastern Main Road, Sangre Grande when a glass fell from the hand of one of the patrons.

One of the lawmen got into an argument with the man after the glass fell.

The row led to a fight between one of the officers and the man.

When the man’s brother tried to intervene he was arrested by the two officers.

Another officer who is on sick leave (suffering from a broken hand) came to their rescue and pulled off the man who was fighting with the drunken cop.

When the East Indian officer got up from the ground he started cursing and using racial remarks to the African descent policeman.

However, the officers decided to take the two brothers down to the station, followed by the drunken officer.

While on their way to the station the drunken constable, bleeding from a wound to the head began cussing “wind” and verbally abused the officer who tried to help him.

On arrival at the station, officers had to restrain him and took the drunken officer to the back of the station to “cool off.”

He was advised to the hospital for treatment but instead headed home where he took out his rage on his wife and son.

The police rescued them and they were taken to the home of a relative.

The drunken officer remained hiding inside and did not come out.

The two brothers were also sent to the Sangre Grande Hospital for treatment but no charges were laid.

Curious onlooker cried shame on the drunken officer.
