Intruder captured after biting fireman and mother

An AUXILIARY fire officer and his mother were bitten by a bandit after they confronted and captured him following a home invasion, at their Edinburgh South, Chaguanas, home early Saturday morning.

The 38-year-old suspect, from McBean, Couva, was eventually subdued by the mother and son and handed over to police. He is expected to be charged with home invasion and causing bodily harm.

Police were told that around 8.15 p.m. on Friday, the 20-year-old fire officer left the family home, leaving his 49-year-old mother and 12-year-old brother inside.
