Several in custody following fight at West Bus Station
Multiple arrests following two altercations at West Bus Station
A series of physical altercations at West Bus Station this afternoon has resulted in multiple arrests, according to eyewitness accounts.
The two incidents, which occurred around 3 PM, involved a pair of female students and three adult males respectively.
Witnesses report that the disturbance began when two female students, one from Princess Margaret Secondary School and the other from Sir Novel Richards Academy, engaged in a physical fight.
The altercation was quickly broken up by officers from the West Bus Station Police Outpost.
Following this initial incident, three men allegedly became involved in a separate physical dispute.
As a result of this second altercation, two men were taken into police custody. A third man reportedly fled the scene, and it remains unclear whether he was later apprehended by authorities.
The police have not yet released official statements regarding the incidents or the identities of those involved.
The causes of the altercations and any potential connections between the student fight and the subsequent male altercation are currently unknown.
Local authorities are expected to continue their investigation into the incidents. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
Lord have mercy on our people! Blood so hot. Hopefully there were no serious injuries and just a few bruises and scrapes. Our people need to learn conflict avoidance skills. I remember when I was going to school when you see something escalating you simply just go the next way. But theses day we just want to fight in school. Meng
