The businessman who allegedly attacked an officer and damaged property at the Pacific Harbour Community Post on Wednesday morning has been charged and will appear in the Navua Magistrates Court today.

He is charged with 1 count of disorderly conduct, 4 counts of damaging property, 1 count of resisting arrest, 1 count of assault and breach of bail.

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.
