Altercation with off-duty Police officer at city nightclub leaves Charlestown man injured

An incident unfolded at a city nightclub on Saturday evening leaving Quincy McDonald of Charlestown with a head injury after allegedly being struck by an off-duty Police rank with a firearm.
According to reports, the altercation allegedly arose due to the romantic involvement of the victim’s friend with the off-duty Police officer’s child’s mother.
Guyana Times understands that McDonald and the Police rank had engaged in heated verbal exchanges on previous occasions.

However, on the night in question, McDonald found himself at a nightclub at Hogg Street, Georgetown, in the company of his friend, the Police rank’s child mother, and a few others.
It was reported that while engaged in conversation with another individual, McDonald was unexpectedly pushed by the officer, thus leading to a verbal confrontation between the two. Bystanders intervened and managed to separate them.
The situation took a turn when the Police whipped out his service weapon and attacked McDonald. The Charlestown man sustained a laceration to his head and was taken to the hospital where he was treated and sent away.
The matter was reported to the Police and an investigation into the incident is underway.
Only two weeks ago, a Police officer was caught on camera assaulting a detainee at the Enmore Police Station, located on the East Coast of Demerara (ECD).
It was reported that the cop lost his cool after the detainee allegedly provoked him by attempting to video his face with a mobile phone. The cop grabbed the phone and was involved in a brief scuffle with the individual.
The detainee was heard accusing the cop of choking a woman during the arrest. It is still unclear if the officer was arrested or charged for the assault.
