Operators in the Constitution River Terminal, Nursery Drive, St Michael, are again crying out for an urgent improvement in security.

The latest pleas came following a stabbing incident there yesterday morning.

According to police reports, two men had an altercation with another man, resulting in injuries to the victim, who was transported to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) by a private vehicle. He received injuries about the body, to both hands and to the right shoulder. Two people are assisting police with the investigations.

It is understood the people involved worked The Pine, St Michael route.

Philip Charles, who works on that route and has been in the industry since 1979, said that to maintain order, police officers, as well as workers from the Ministry of Transport, Works and Maintenance, needed to be stationed in the van stand. (SB)
