Police investigate assault on guard

SIMPSON BAY--A security guard from a well-known security company was working in the Simpson Bay area last week when he had occasion to stop and check a person who was entering the building. The man was in plain clothes and showed no indication that he was in fact "special."

After a quick check it was established that the man was allowed into the building to collect his child from some class that had been taking place. The man collected his child and took the child to his car. He then returned to the security guard and told him to remember his face. He was quite threatening and took offence at being questioned as to his purpose and authority to enter the premises.

The guard was charged with ensuring that only parents and persons with the credentials to do so entered the building, for the safety of the children, one of whom was his.

A couple of days later the guard was again at his place of work when four persons, one a woman, approached him. All four were wearing police uniforms and they reportedly punched the guard in the stomach, bundled him into a car and gave him some rough treatment. As he was being released the child's father told him, "You will remember my face now, won't you?"

When asked about the incident police spokesman Inspector Ricardo Henson neither confirmed nor denied the details of the story on Friday. He told The Daily Herald: "An investigation is currently underway by the Internal Affairs Department and I can say nothing more about the matter at this stage."

The owner of the security company, who did not want to be identified, said, "I am very sad that this information got out. I have spoken to the police and as far as I am concerned this should stay as an internal matter for the police to deal with. There is too much negative news at this time and I believe that the police will deal with this issue in the proper way. I have not gone to the Prosecutor's Office with this matter because I have faith that the police themselves will deal with the situation."
