A child has sustained injuries to their arm and face in an incident in Gunville’s Home Bargains store this afternoon (Thursday).
Multiple police units attended the scene on Taylor Road at around 13:00 following reports of an incident unfolding involving a man and a child. Neither were related to one another.
It’s understood from eyewitness accounts that the child was assaulted, although no arrests have been made at this time.
Island Echo has been told that the child was taken to hospital by officers for treatment. Inquiries into the incident are continuing.
Where do all the comments go ?!
To that “great comment resting place in the sky”
I made a comment here yesterday asking the same thing, that comment is now gone too. And yet a little while ago, when I asked the same thing, they said they never remove comments. Very strange.
Free speech not allowed on this forum…
With the shut down and lack of schooling there are a large amount of “disturbed” children who do have horrendous tantrums in supermarkets so until the full facts are known no judgements should be made over who is to blame or at fault as even some adults have been affected by the lack of contact. So let us wait until we get the full story and not just the headline grabber comments. Assaulted is such a misused word in some settings and can send a readers mind racing ahead of what actually occurred in the reported incident.
