Traffic Rank assaults man in presence of Station Sergeant at Alberttown Police Station
Kaieteur News – A video circulating on social media and seen by this publication appeared to depict an altercation between a driver who was placed on bail at the
Alberttown Police Station for a traffic offence, and the traffic rank that stopped him.

In the video, the two men can be seen standing outside the entrance to the station, with the driver attempting to walk away from the traffic rank, who continuously prevented him from doing so, demanding that he go back into the station to be served a notice, to which the driver refused. The traffic rank then proceeded to forcibly drag the driver back into the station and can be heard saying, “Bai, go back there, don’t get me vex.”
The ordeal was being videotaped by the driver’s wife and as she proceeded to follow the two men as they entered the police station, she was prevented from entering the station by the station sergeant standing in the doorway. As her path is blocked, the driver can be seen attempting to wrangle himself free from the traffic rank’s grip inside the station, to which the traffic rank responded by vigorously pulling the driver around. At that point the station sergeant can be seen instructing the traffic rank whom she addressed as “Williams” to “loose the man.” At this point, the rank Williams complied with the instruction to free the driver from his grasp but immediately proceeded to deliver a quick strike to the driver in the presence of the sergeant. When the driver’s wife raised a protest by saying “Sergeant see how he just hitting this man,” the sergeant demanded that the wife leave the compound or take off her camera and join her husband inside the station.
