Commander of Region Six, Shivpersaud Bacchus has denied striking a vendor with a cane during attempts to bring order on Monday evening at the Corriverton Market following a fire.
The vendor accused him of hitting her with a cane while attempting to remove affected vendors from the Corriverton Market following a fire at the location.
It was a state of confusion on Monday evening at the Corriverton Market where a fire suspected to be of electrical origin destroyed two stalls completely and damaged two. While firefighters were busy working to put out and contain the fire –something they were quickly able to do – ranks attached to the B Division seemed at a loss in managing the crowd of people and affected vendors working to soak and secure their stalls.
