Woman claims police abuse
Tobagonian woman claims police abuse
A family was left distressed following an alleged altercation with police officers on Saturday morning. According to the family’s account, the morning began when officers arrived at their home under circumstances that remain unclear. The woman claimed that at about 2:00 am, Police officers broke down the door to their home, aiming their guns at them and then proceeded to handcuff her husband. Her husband was taken outside and upon return, she noted that his face was swollen, allegedly from being beaten. The altercation escalated when Police officers allegedly verbally assaulted the woman and her two children. Tobago Updates reached out to the TTPS for comment on the matter but all our efforts proved futile.
