… Pit bulls attack
Fifty-four-year-old Patrick Gordon of 610 Back Circle, East Ruimveldt Housing Scheme, who was severely bitten in the face by pit bulls in his neighbourhood last August, is claiming that the police and the owner of the dog are colluding to stifle him from receiving justice.
During that attack the left side of Gordon’s face required stitches from the lip to the earlobe.
According to Gordon, an arrest warrant was issued for “Lance Corporal Richie” by Magistrate Fazil Azeez, since the police rank failed to attend court to produce the medical certificate. “The police and the man who owns the dog are friends. Without the medical the case cannot proceed.”
Gordon whose face was severely disfigured is calling on the Commissioner of Police to investigate the junior rank that seems to have no regards for the rule of law and the judicial system.
“The owner offered me compensation, but at the time I told him I didn’t have time with compensation…the amount of terrible pain I was in.”
The injured man’s relatives told Kaieteur News that this is not the first time the dogs had attacked someone.
“Was just last year that the same dogs had attacked a small child, they were warned by a magistrate that if their dogs attack anybody else they will be charged.”
Kaieteur News was unable to contact the owner of the dogs.
