Teen shot during alleged scuffle with cops

A 17-year-old boy who is allegedly a “known character” to the Police was on Friday shot and injured during an alleged scuffle with cops following a high-speed chase around Georgetown.
The incident occurred sometime around 16:40h along Dennis Street and D Field Access Road, Sophia, Greater Georgetown.
It was reported that a group of policemen were conducting an exercise in Division 4 A (Georgetown), and whilst in the vicinity of Dennis Street and D Field Access Road, Sophia, Greater Georgetown, the teen was observed riding a red motorcycle with a haversack on his back.
Upon seeing the Police patrol vehicle, the teenager immediately made a U-turn and sped off in a western direction on Dennis Street.
In retaliation, the Police went after him and after navigating several cross streets and roads, the suspect eventually abandoned the motorcycle at his home and ran into his yard. He then scaled his neighbour’s fence.
As ranks closed in to apprehend him, he put up a fight during which the teenager held on to a policeman’s service revolver. As the scuffle continued, the firearm reportedly went off.
Two circular injuries were observed on the suspect’s body. He was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he was admitted a patient under guard.
