Ten­sions re­mained high in Sea Lots last evening, as a group of young men con­tin­ued their vi­o­lent at­tacks against each oth­er, as well as law-abid­ing res­i­dents, de­spite the fact that the T&T Po­lice Ser­vice was in the com­mu­ni­ty try­ing to me­di­ate for a peace­ful res­o­lu­tion.

In fact, while Sea Lots West res­i­dents were still meet­ing with po­lice re­gard­ing the con­flict with res­i­dents liv­ing in Sea Lots Cen­tral, a young man was am­bushed and al­most beat­en by a gang of men as he made his way home.

Eleanor Grant al­most faint­ed as she ran along Pi­o­neer Dri­ve to­wards the Beetham High­way just be­fore mid­day on hear­ing the news, pray­ing and hop­ing her son’s life would be spared. She was lat­er made to sit on a bench out­side a shop and giv­en wa­ter to drink by an­oth­er fe­male res­i­dent.
