A Sangre Grande schoolboy was hospitalised but not charged after a confrontation with uniformed police officers on Monday afternoon.
Police said officers from the Sangre Grande charge room and traffic unit were on duty near a secondary school when they spoke with a group of students. During the exchange, the boy reportedly cursed the officers.
When officers attempted to detain him, a struggle ensued, and the teen eventually collapsed. He was taken to hospital, treated, and later discharged.
