Police Investigating Assault On Queen Street
Noting that there is a video clip being circulated “depicting a woman being assaulted by a male outside a business on Queen Street,” the police confirmed they are investigating the matter.
A spokesperson said, “The Bermuda Police Service [BPS] has been made aware of a video clip being circulated on social media, depicting a woman being assaulted by a male outside a business on Queen Street in the City of Hamilton.
“We wish to inform the public the matter is being investigated. In the interim, we urge that should you receive the video clip in question, do not share it, but instead delete it from your device.

If the BPS runs their Vunerable Persons Unit anything like Humberside Police in Hull, UK they will set up a Victim Support charity to spy on ‘the vunerable’ and do ‘target hardening’ then invite ‘abusers to drive complainers mental.’ The police will even give you a handy dandy crime reference number but it will disappear from their files after the job is done.
