Blood stains indicating where the incident took place.
PRESS RELEASE - On Monday, June 8, 2015 about 4:40p.m officers attached to the Anse La Raye Police Station received to a report of an individual engaged in menacing conduct whilst armed with a cutlass along Bridge Street, Anse La Raye.
Two police officers responded and identified the individual as Norbert Cosine, a suspected lunatic.
In attempting to subdue Cosine, who remained armed, one police officer discharged three (3) non-lethal rounds (bean bags) in the direction of Cosine.
This action proved futile as Cosine continued his pursuit resulting in the officers being assaulted with the cutlass.
Consequently, one live round was discharged in his direction, hitting him in the waist region rendering him immobilized.
An ambulance was summoned and immediately transported Cosine to the Victoria Hospital where he was treated and detained in stable condition.
The police officers sustained minor wounds and welts about the body.
Investigations are continuing into this matter.
