Two Males Arrested Following Assault
Two males have been arrested in connection with the “alleged assault of a 17-year-old male” yesterday in Pembroke, the police confirmed.
A police spokesperson said, “The Bermuda Police Service is investigating the alleged assault of a 17-year-old male, which reportedly took place around 10:20 a.m. yesterday, Monday 23rd January, 2023, on the grounds of the former Berkeley Institute, Berkeley Road, Pembroke.
“Three suspects are said to have struck the 17-year-old several times about the head and body. It is understood the incident was video-recorded by one of the suspects. We ask that should you receive that video recording, you delete it and do not share it on.
“Two males have been arrested in connection with this incident and anyone with information is asked to contact Sergeant Kim Cowper on, 247-1685 or via email kcowper@bps.bm.
“Alternatively, you may call the main police number, 295-0011, the non-emergency reporting number, 211 or, speak with a police officer you know.”
This anti social behaviour needs to be a priority for the Government Opposition community and church leaders.
This scourge has spiraled for too long to where it is commonplace and people are desensitised.
How many more young black males must suffer beatings that alter their mental or physical state as well as death before real change occurs? Does anyone care any more or is it just those people?
@Lion Paw, I’m sorry but I don’t know what you are expecting from the people you listed. The people who need to do something about it are these children’s PARENTS….
Parents are too busy being friends with their kids as opposed to parenting them which includes the rod of correction. This in my opinion is where the problem lies… Yes I have a child and trust and believe I made sure the teachers or whomever at the schools she attended knew I meant business with her and if they had any issues with her they were to contact me immediately… Yup, I had to show up to school for her on 2 occasions and she knew it was about to be a problem with her and I.
Parents do you parental duties and society wouldn’t have to be seeking the help from Government, Churches and community leaders…
If your can’t raise them don’t have them…. Jus Sayin
Not all children have parents.
Careful to judge.
How is that even logically possible lol smh. Brain dead bermudians who don’t take any responsibility
The previous poster is suggesting that they may be in the foster system, or a situation like that. To avoid the typical generalization that happens in these comment sections.
The commenter Pure Madness isn’t incorrect on raising children, but in this case (and others) the horse has already bolted and society has to deal with it.
It takes a village. Unfortunately, Bermuda is now a village divided.
After reading the two previous comments I wish you all good luck.
What utter garbage by both.
Blame?
Look inside.
