Woman Charged After Brawl with Police Officer

The police have commented on Tuesday’s incident at Crescent Primary School in St. Catherine, where a civilian and police officers were caught on video in a tussle. Our reporter, Trishagaye Kelly, found that the civilian has since been released on bail. The officers reportedly attempted to peacefully remove the woman from the compound, but she did not cooperate. The Independent Commission of Investigations (INDECOM) recommends citizens comply with police instructions. Assistant Commissioner Hamish Campbell emphasizes that this advice remains crucial. The situation escalated when the woman refused to enter the police vehicle, resulting in a physical altercation where the civilian was bitten and injured. The constabulary did not address this aspect of the incident, though some justify the bite as a necessary force. Campbell notes that officers do not need to declare their use of force, as a single video often fails to capture all events.
