A 25-year-old Duncan Street man, who gave police a fake name, was arrested on Monday night for physically assaulting the daughter of Homeland Security Minister Roger Alexander.
The man who told police his name was Dwight Yorke, was held after a boat ride, police said, after he was recently released from prison for an unrelated robbery.
Described as a “snatcher”, the man allegedly grabbed the woman’s gold chain while she was in a taxi along Charlotte Street, Port-of-Spain, on December 24, 2024. He is alleged to have punched the minister’s daughter in the face, causing her jaw to swell after she yanked the gold chain back from him.
