Police Appeal For Witnesses To Disturbance
The Bermuda Police Service are appealing for witnesses to a “disturbance” that took place on Reid Street on Sunday night.
A police spokesperson said, “Police responded to a report of a disturbance outside of the PHC Club on Reid Street at a few minutes before 11pm on Sunday.
“Upon police arrival to the scene there was no active disturbance and individuals where in the process of leaving. This resulted in officers maintaining a highly visible presence at the scene, in the surrounding area and throughout the city.
“Policing are aware of footage circulating via social media of this incent and we are appealing for witnesses or anyone with any information on this incident to contact police on 2950011.”
Ban football!!
I wouldn’t go that far, but certainly the onus needs to be on the club to keep a handle on its patrons (particularly where alcohol may be served), because otherwise that leads to further black eyes for club sport in Bermuda.
The Police do not want to arrive there while the brawl is going on. The cameras will tell them when it has settled down or close to settling down then they will show up. Many of them hope it is over by the time they arrive.
Interesting outlook. Police station is two blocks away. Curious if they got a CCTV ‘heads-up’ or if someone phoned in. One might ask if it would have been prudent for police to be on a watch considering they must have been aware of the football results and where the ‘after parties’ may have been held.
