The second man who was involved in a daylight assault and robbery at Foster Street, Walu Bay is now in custody.

The 29 year old casual worker from Namena Village in Tailevu was arrested by a joint taskforce.

The first suspect, a 41 year old unemployed man from Suvavou Village, was arrested yesterday.

A video which has gone viral on social media shows the victim being attacked by the men.

The video shows a scuffle between the men and the victim.

They then overpower the man and take off with some items.

Both suspects remain in custody as investigations continue.

Concerns are also being raised as no one that passed the crime scene attempted to help the victim. Many people are saying that it was really frightening to see no one had made the decision to assist the helpless man.
