Home News Cop injured after being pelted to face with metal cup
A Police Constable who went to investigate a report of threatening behaviour is now nursing an injury to his face after a female reportedly pelted him with a metal cup on Wednesday evening at Williamsburg, Corentyne Berbice.
The injured rank in Constable Travis Cort, who is attached to the Rose Hall Town Police Outpost.
Preliminary investigations revealed that on the day in question, at about 19:30h, Yujisteer Puran of Crawford Street, Rose Hall Town, went to the Rose Hall Town Police Outpost to report that one Bibi Jageshar and her husband Dinesh Jageshar had verbally abused him and had threatened to kill him.
Upon receiving the report, Constables Cort and Tyndall went to the area, contacted both parties, and told of the allegation made against them. The couple, however, locked themselves in a bedroom and started to verbally abuse the ranks.
As the ranks called out to them to surrender, the woman opened the bedroom door and pelted Cort with a metal cup to his face, thus causing him to receive injuries.
The ranks reportedly withdrew, and the injured Cort was taken to the Port Mourant Public Hospital, where he was treated and sent away.
Efforts to arrest both Bibi and Dinesh Jageshar have proven futile. Investigations are ongoing.
