While police were responding to an incident in Paget this afternoon a “person of interest” assaulted two officers and fled the area, resulting in both officers being taken to the hospital with minor injuries, and police now searching for the suspect.

Police Media Manager Dwayne Caines said, “Police responded to an incident that took place at Coco Reefs in Paget at 3:39pm.

“It appears that a person of interest was being interviewed by police when he assaulted two officers and fled the area.

    • Dat Bie says:

      Well if it was easy, they’d ask you to go do it! But clearly you don’t have the balls to do that kind of work. #InternetToughGuy #KeyboardBully

      • REALLY REALLY BETTY says:

        This is unacceptable. …..

      • Keepin' it Real!...4Real! says:

        So…wat ur sayin is dat…Our incompetent cops have big balls..?

        So…If ur not a cop…does that mean you have no balls..?

        Geesh I hate to say this but…wear a policeman’s uinform and Don his full gear… Usain Bolt would even look like Forest Gump.

        Maybe that’s how the police SHOULD train as running in full attire.

  2. Terry says:

    Well if he was of interest they should be sitting outside his house just awaiting.

  3. Point boy says:

    Dangerous game. You don’t want to mess with the police

  4. Awake says:

    Sigh! The suspect assaulted two officers at the same time? Do officers in Bermuda not have the use of taser guns? If not, they SHOULD!

    • Dat Bie says:

      Because officers are bound by “use of force” before using such tools. Duh

    • Juice says:

      This ain’t the states, our cops ain’t quick to “put you down” when offering a little bit of resistance.

    • 3N says:

      ..Still two officers, one person?
      If so, how they not use their person (body) as force? The officers didn’t have to shoot or kill the person but TWO of them.. I am sure had training on defense .. Unbelievable.

    If he had stupidly tried this in the US we all know what the outcome would have been .
    And then there’d be yet another misplaced outcry . These idiots here are very lucky .

    • Give it a break... says:

      Misplaced outcry? As if there isn’t a clear assault on the minority in the US? You tellin me that these people being murdered deserved to die at the hands of police? Poor choice of words used there that is insensitive to the current social climate.

      • Jen says:

        These deaths by the police are not only on the minority here in the USA. My brother-in-law was shot and killed by the police but because he was white, his death did not catch the attention of the media only the local news and there were no riots to say that “white lives matter” because every life matters. The media has a great way of making people believe what they want to believe not always the truth of what the situation really is to cause the police to be involved with them in the first place.

        • Smhstfu says:

          i guarantee your brother inaw wasn’t shot because he was white. Its asinine to think the whites are killed at the same reason. Being minorities make up roughly 13% of the population, its ridiculous to compare the two

  6. sooo. says:

    soon two cops got beat up by one person….arent you lot trained in like billy stick combat? How dis happen?

  7. TimBuc says:

    I am floored in tears…Another individual made good escape in the Paget area. You just can’t make this stuff up.!!!!

  8. Skytrain says:

    I hope the officers are ok and are not injured too badly.
    I have noticed some of our police officers do not go to the gym, walk or run for exercise and eat at KFC most days.
    Just saying….

  9. Wow says:

    One person beat up two officers? Were they both women because if not that’s a horrible look for the Bermuda police. Use your taser and be trigger happy like the U.S. cops, at least with the taser they won’t die. Use your flashlight-do something!

  10. Pure Madness!!!!! says:

    Ahhh huh!!! Yup go ahead use anything in self defense as an officer and than that will be another headline story. I am not a police officer but know that they take a lot of flack for carrying or trying to carry out their duties. Some people will never be satisfied, “they are doing a great job, they don’t know what their doing, they should have been there when that happen, why weren’t they able to do”…… Blah blah blah blah blah. Take a break people, cheezzzz……

    Speaking as one who was on the Police Force from 1963 to 1972 until I left for personal reasons. I was on the motor cycle squad, the dog section, and the foot patrol and worked in the squad cars . The Police come out of training school knowing that a suspect for anything will run ,fight, or flee. It goes with the territory. Especially when you are carrying the ,,,,warrant bags ,,,,for summonses. Many ran, many fought ,many tried to get away but I never lost one yet. It is embarrassing to a Policeman to ,,,,lose one, ,, or let one get away,,,,….They get a lot of flack from other officers. Would I do it all again?????in a heart beat????You are either ,,,,cut out for the job ,or you are not.Peace.

  12. Person of interest…fled…injured two officers…police need to study ninjutsu.

  13. No-Name says:

    If the police were conducting a “proper” interview, the first thing out of he/she’s mouth would have been, “Name and DOB” – that way if the person gets away, you’d have already gotten their details.

    LOFL – BPS FAILED

      But what if they give a phony name and date of birth
