Man arrested for assaulting women during brawl at Bourda Market

Kellon Albert, 36, an electrician of Melanie, East Coast Demerara (ECD), is now in Police custody for an alleged assault that occurred at Robb and Alexander Streets, Bourda, Georgetown.
The incident involved Albert, along with Lashawn Joseph, 22, a vendor and Kim Rampersaud, 49, a stall holder, both of Stevedore Housing Scheme, North Ruimveldt; and Lacquan Joseph, 21, a vendor of Stevedore Housing Scheme.
Police said Albert went to his children mother’s stall at 08:00h to drop off his two children who was staying with him for the past month.
Albert had allegedly told his children’s mother [Lashawn] to collect the children, which caused her to become annoyed. She then reportedly got up and ran towards her mother’s stall and armed herself with a knife.
Rampersaud, who was standing close by, immediately grabbed Lashawn and took away the weapon. As a result, Albert, who was sitting in his motorcar, exited and approached both women, during which he grabbed Rampersaud’s hand to retrieve the said knife.
In the process, a scuffle ensued among them, during which Lashawn picked up a piece of wood and dealt Albert several lashes about the body.
He managed to wrestle the knife from Rampersaud’s hand, after which he dealt her two slaps to her face. In addition, he dealt the mother of his children two slaps as well.
Police said Lashawn picked up a construction spade and broke the front and back windscreens of Kellon’s motorcar, as well as damaged the bonnet.
In retaliation, the suspect became annoyed, picked up pieces of brick and threw them at two women’s motorcars, thus damaging both windscreens.
During the commotion, the Police were summoned to the scene, and Albert was arrested. Investigations are ongoing.
