Sun, 2006-11-05
At 10am on Sunday, Police received a report of an assault. The victim, a 53 year old Hamilton parish man, stated that the assault took place between 12:30am and 12:45am that day at the Hamilton Parish Workmen's Club. It appears that the Hamilton parish man was outside the Hamilton Parish Workmen's Club when he saw two men fighting. He attempted to intervene when the suspect, a 29 year old Devonshire man, threatened him with physical harm if he did not leave the men involved in the altercation alone. The victim left the men alone; however, despite this the suspect kicked the 53 year old twice in the face. The Hamilton parish man fell to the ground, then got up and went inside the club. When he exited the club a short time later, he was attacked again by the suspect, who punched him in the face several times. The victim fell to the ground again but this time managed to make good his escape. The suspect subsequently made good his escape. The victim sustained bruising and swelling to his face and was advised to attend the hospital for treatment. Inquiries into this incident are underway.
