Police have arrested and charged a 16-year-old boy in connection with a violent altercation that took place along Cashew Hill Public Road earlier this year.
According to reports, the teenager is accused of assaulting another 15-year-old during the incident, which occurred on April 11, 2025. He was also charged with being armed with an offensive weapon, a metal pipe, and with disorderly conduct by fighting.
The arrest was carried out in the presence of a guardian, and the matter has been referred to the relevant authorities for further action.
Investigations into the incident are continuing.
Sixteen and already getting charge for fighting with weapon? These young boys need guidance, not just punishment. The violence starting too early.
Charging a 16-year-old won’t solve the problem if we don’t give him support after. We need proper rehabilitation programs, not just court cases
I will always blame parents. If you have a child that showing these traits nip it in the buddddddd. Now you have a monester and behaving like you suprise when they do these things
Don’t arrest and charge the child. Arrest and charge the parents as well. This is getting out of hand
Most 16 year Olds learning how to make out…yet these in antigua learning how to be jailed by 18
Back in the day….we used to settle argument with words or lil fist fight, not weapon. Society going down fast
Instead of being in school abd trying to get an education they about trouble? Look some dunce young people
Pipe? Really? At 16? These young fellas walking round angry and armed like is war. Where dem parents?
Good move by the police. Set an example early so others will think twice before picking up weapon to solve problem
I wish they could be charged as children so they can learn a damn lesson. They sickening
this should also be a wake-up call for schools and parents to address youth conflict early.
Sad to see school-age children getting into this kind of trouble. We really need more programs to teach conflict resolution not every disagreement have to end in fight
