A female supporter of the A Partnership for National Unity/Alliance for Change (APNU/AFC) coalition, during the Nomination Day proceedings, assaulted a female Police Officer who was on duty. The crowd of coalition supporters was trying to enter the compound, where only select individuals were allowed.

The female supporter was asked by the cop to step away from the gate; however, she refused. She then began to shove the Police Officer and physically abuse her.
When several media houses tried to capture the incident on camera, other supporters used their flags and umbrellas to block the cameras. It was later discovered that the supporter ripped off the Police Officer’s watch and part of her uniform.
