A young woman em­ployed with Rhand Cred­it Union was at­tacked and beat­en yes­ter­day by a home­less man in Port-of-Spain.

Ac­cord­ing to a po­lice re­port, around 11 am yes­ter­day the 22-year-old woman had just left her place of work on Aber­crom­by Street when she was at­tacked with a PVC pipe by a bare­backed home­less man, who was on­ly wear­ing kha­ki pants.

Wield­ing the pipe, the man dealt the young woman mul­ti­ple blows about the body.

The woman says she con­tact­ed her boyfriend af­ter the in­ci­dent, who then con­tact­ed the po­lice.

A par­ty of of­fi­cers as­signed to the Cen­tral Po­lice Sta­tion and Cap­i­tal City Pa­trol unit re­spond­ed and in­ter­viewed the young woman, how­ev­er, she did not want to press charges and in­stead left to seek med­ical at­ten­tion.

Of­fi­cers searched for the home­less man, based on the de­scrip­tion giv­en, but were un­able to lo­cate him.

Sargeant Ram­per­sad is con­tin­u­ing the in­ves­ti­ga­tion.
