Sources have confirmed a rock-throwing incident in Castries city Friday morning which had persons running for cover.
The incident occured sometime after 8 a.m. with young men throwing rocks at each other along the Chaussee Road between Jeremie Street and Victoria Street, several sources told St. Lucia News Online (SNO).
A motorist described the young men’s actions as careless.
“I was busy trying to avoid the head-sized stones being hurled with no care for vehicles or bystanders,” he said. “I had to turn quickly down Jeremie Street to avoid them.”
A pedestrian told SNO that it is better for the the young men to use rocks than guns.
“Better stones than bullets,” she said.
It is not yet confirmed whether anyone was injured or any property was damaged in the altercation.
