Fredrick Boyce, 27, who crashed his motorcycle after he allegedly fled from police, has been charged with the illegal possession of a gun and ammunition.
Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry, has also ordered an investigation into allegations that the man was beaten by police.
He appeared in court yesterday with a swollen eye, bruised lips and a swollen jaw. Boyce claimed that though he was in an accident, his injuries were attributed to the brutality of police during his arrest.
Boyce was not required to plead to the gun and ammunition charges as they are indictable. Boyce allegedly had in his possession one .32 revolver and four matching rounds of ammunition, and both were illegal, police said.
The police claimed that on Monday, on Princess Street, Boyce was seen by a police patrol conversing with another man. He was on his motorcycle. Police said that they decided to approach him after he was seen fixing something in his waist.
However, Boyce allegedly sped off on his motorcycle when he saw the police approaching. He was at the corner of Princes Street and Cemetery Road when he collided with a vehicle.
The police said the man sustained injuries and was taken for medical attention.
Boyce was unrepresented.
The magistrate, following complaints by Boyce, ordered an investigation to be launched into the cause of his injuries. She indicated that such acts could not be condoned.
Boyce was subsequently remanded to prison and will have to return to court on January 6th.
