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.
