Two teenagers were yesterday arrested for assaulting a Berbice police officer who was at the time performing duties at a pedestrian crossing on Republic Road New Amsterdam around 8 am.
According to information gathered, Police Constable, Fredricks was at the location performing duties yesterday morning when he gave “lawful traffic instructions and directions” which the suspects failed to comply with. This then led to an argument and then a scuffle during which the lawman was assaulted.
