Man allegedly pushed from wall by cop in Red Hills

The police are currently investigating an incident in which a man was allegedly pushed over a wall by a member of the police in Walkers Hill, Red Hills in St Andrew on Friday.

Eyewitnesses say an argument developed between the two men over an incident in the area this morning where a man was chopped to death.

Police investigators were called to the community after a man said to be of an unsound mind chased a group of people along Red Hills Road and managed to inflict chop wounds on three of them.

Construction worker Phillip Bennett died as a result of the injuries he sustained. 

Residents allege that during the incident, the cop pushed the man from a wall.

The man sustained injuries and was taken to hospital by cops at the scene.

Inspector Collin Burgher of the Red Hills police says a full investigation will be conducted.
