A businessman in his late 30s is in police custody after he allegedly attacked an officer and damaged property at the Pacific Harbour Community Post yesterday.

Chief Operations Officer ACP Abdul Khan says the man was acting strangely and allegedly became aggressive, swearing at the Police officer on duty before leaving.

He adds after a few minutes, the man returned and allegedly took a Vodafix and a desktop computer and threw it against the wall.

The officer managed to overpower the man and in the process, the officer’s uniform got torn and he sustained injuries, but the suspect was eventually locked in the cell.

ACP Khan says they will not condone such actions.

He is urging members of the public who have issues regarding Police service delivery to follow the proper channels and report the matter to Internal Affairs.
