A 42-year-old taxi driver who allegedly attacked a woman with a cricket bat during an altercation in downtown Port of Spain last week was arrested early Tuesday morning.
Police said officers from the Port of Spain Task Force located the suspect at his home in Fort George Road, St James at around 6am.
The man was arrested and taken to the Besson Street police station where he will be interviewed by investigators.
Videos of the altercation circulated on social media last Friday showed the man arguing with two women near Church’s Chicken on the corner of Henry Street and Independence Square.
One of the women was hit twice with a bat during the argument before the man drove away.
