AN early-morning police attempt to enforce a protection order against a Penal man took a wild turn sending both the suspect and an officer to receive medical treatment.
Police said four officers responded to a report of a breach of protection order and threats to kill at Beemul Branch Trace, San Francique Road, Penal, around 2 am on April 16, where they met a 36-year-old man brandishing a cutlass, acting violently, threatening to kill his neighbours and burn down their house.
The neighbours, who are also the suspect's relatives, also have an ongoing court matter against the man for arson. The neighbours told police the man threw gasoline on their house and attempted to light it.
