Army reservist accused of assaulting cops

An army reservist was arrested last Friday after he reportedly assaulted police officers who were conducting a mobile patrol.

The Guyana Police Force reported that a party of police were on mobile patrol at about 6.15 pm at the Pouderoyen tarmac, West Bank Demerara, where they made contact with the man.

The man was verbally abusive toward the police by use of expletives, prompting a warning about his behaviour but he did not stop using the loud tone of voice, which caused persons to gather at the scene.
