A man has been detained following an incident in which he assaulted a woman while brandishing a firearm during a road altercation.
The police are currently conducting an investigation into viral video that show a female nurse being assaulted by a man on a roadside. Details regarding the location and the events leading up to the incident remain unclear; however, unverified reports suggest that the assault may be linked to road rage.
Despite the severity of the situation, passerby seem hesitant to intervene or attempted to stop him from inflicting harm on the woman, due to what some assumed to be a gun in his hand.
Nevertheless, a voice can be heard stating, “You can’t do the woman like that.”
A Jamaica Gleaner update stated that he was taken into police custody while a thorough investigation has commenced concerning a road rage incident, both of whom were driving on the Mount Airy main road in St Andrew on Tuesday. A senior officer has confirmed this incident, emphasizing that the man remains detained as the investigation unfolds.
In the video, a man is observed aggressively handling a woman dressed in what seems to be a nurse’s uniform.
“He took her out [of the] car and him start manhandle her,” a person with knowledge of the incident told The Gleaner, adding that the nurse was on her way to work.
He held an item that appeared to be a firearm, which subsequently dropped onto the roadway. An eyewitness reported that an individual retrieved the object and returned it to the suspect. Additionally, the video captures bystanders imploring the man to stop assaulting the nurse.
