Share


The frequent battles between vendors and law enforcers on the island seemingly are not about to stop anytime soon with a new video surfacing of a recent incident that got physical, a gunshot was also fired during the ordeal.

The almost 6-minute-long video shows an officer trying to accost a male vendor in Downtown, Kingston but was being impeded from doing so by other individuals, the suspect also resisted arrest for minutes, arguing with the cops.

“Weh mi duh mek unuh a beat mi,” the man who was being hauled and pulled by the cop asked.

Minutes into the video, as individuals surrounded the cop and the male suspect, the cop fired a shot in the air in an effort to ward off the crowd, however, that action did not help to quell the angry crowd.

“Memba the man a nuh murdera enuh,” shouted a female from the sideline. Another person detailed that the officer kicked the male vendor first which seemingly caused retaliation from the male vendor.

Moments later, the male vendor got away by twisting out of the grasp of the cop and running off, that incident was followed by a standoff between a female vendor and the lawman who was trying to accost the male vendor.

In the end, the cop walked away from the boisterous sellers and gave warnings.
