Motorcyclist mows down policeman

A police constable attached to the Public Safety and Traffic Enforcement Branch was hit by a motorcyclist at a vehicular checkpoint in Kingston yesterday.

Reports are that a police team was conducting an operation in the Six Miles area sometime after 3 p.m., when the cop signalled the motorcyclist to stop. The driver disobeyed the order and hit the lawman with the motorcycle before speeding off. The constable sustained injuries to the back of his head and legs. He was taken to the hospital by his colleagues. His condition is unclear.

A report was made to the Hunts Bay police who have launched a search for the motorcyclist.
