Man killed after attacking Police outside Camp Street Prison

An unidentified man was on Friday evening shot dead following an incident involving a Police rank in the vicinity of the Camp Street Prison.

Based on reports the shooting occurred at about 23:50h.
It was revealed that the now dead man was cautioned by Police ranks earlier in the night when he was behaving disorderly at the corners of John and D’Urban Streets. He reportedly pushed down the Police barriers which are outside the prison.
As such he was taken into Police custody by a Police patrol but was released. He returned to the scene and continued with similar behaviour.
The second time around, a constable attempted to warn him but he instead attacked the rank.
It was during the attack that the constable discharged a round, hitting the man to his lower abdomen. He was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he succumbed while receiving medical attention.
An investigation has been launched into the incident.
