Police Hunt Suspect After Gray’s Hill Attack
Police are on the hunt for a man known as “Benji” following a violent assault on a 73-year-old Gray’s Hill resident early Wednesday morning.
According to reports, Bernard Benjamin was sitting in his living room around 7 a.m. on September 10 when the attacker forced open his front door and struck him in the head with a glass bottle.
The elderly man sustained a bleeding wound to his forehead and was rushed to hospital by EMS for treatment.
Police say the alleged assailant, believed to be from the same community, fled the scene before officers arrived. Despite a search of the area, he has not yet been apprehended.
The incident was reported to the Gray’s Farm Police Station by someone who witnessed the aftermath of the attack. Senior officers have confirmed that the investigation is ongoing and are appealing to the public for any information that could lead to the suspect’s capture.

Many years ago he killed someone over a bicycle, got deported to antigua.
He went to jail, came out 😒.
A few years ago he tried to rob a store with a toy gun. Went to jail came out again 😒.
He has been constantly giving people in the community death threats yet he’s still on the loose and now he did this and went into hiding. We really need a better system for repeat offenders.
