– after ranks arrest suspect in Stabroek Market

Doctors at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation are monitoring a 68-year-old woman who was struck by a police vehicle outside the Stabroek Market around 15:30 hrs yesterday.
Dhanmattie Ramdass, of Soesdyke, East Bank Demerara, was admitted to the GPHC with severe injuries to her right leg.
Eyewitnesses said that the police ranks were driving away from the area with a man they had arrested inside the market when the mishap occurred.
According to reports, police had apprehended the man and had frisked him, when he attempted to flee. Eyewitnesses alleged that the ranks caught the fleeing man and one of them struck him in the face with a handgun.
Kaieteur News was told that several civilians intervened, and after a scuffle that lasted for several minutes, police reportedly placed the man in a vehicle.
They were reportedly racing away from the scene when the vehicle ran over Ms. Ramdass’ leg.
The same ranks then took the injured woman to the GPHC. She was still undergoing treatment in the Accident and Emergency Unit up to late yesterday evening.
A daughter of the victim said that Ms. Ramdass was returning home after visiting a relative when the mishap occurred.
