Policeman beaten in attempt to rescue would-be rape victim

Mar 14, 2010 News

A policeman who went to the assistance of a female who was about to be raped, ended up being admitted to the Georgetown Public Hospital after he was beaten by the alleged perpetrator who was armed with a gun.
The incident occurred around 19:40 hours on Friday night. Police in a press release stated that an 18-year-old security guard was on the Ogle Public Road, East Coast Demerara, awaiting transportation when a man armed with a handgun held her up and took her to the seawall nearby.
The man demanded that she undress and lie on the ground. The constable who had stopped on his motor cycle in the area to make a cell phone call observed what had transpired and went to the victim’s assistance.
However, as he confronted the man he too was held at gunpoint and robbed of his cell phone, jewellery and $3,000.
He was also beaten about his body with the firearm, after which the perpetrator escaped on a bicycle.
While the policeman was admitted to the hospital, the security guard was treated and sent away.
Investigations are in progress.
