Providence cop accused of assaulting woman during filing of accident report

The Guyana Police Force has launched an investigation into allegations levelled at a police officer at the Providence Police Station by a woman, who says she was assaulted by the rank in the presence of her young children after trying to report an accident.

Ali Williams had gone to the station to report a minor accident last Saturday and it was after she refused to leave her car overnight that she was allegedly manhandled by the officer, according to a post about the incident on her Facebook page.

According to a senior police officer, the rank has since been removed from the Providence Police Station to the Brickdam Police Station
