Bus driver chasing a policeman with a heart attack, arrested
Kaieteur News – A police officer was forced to run yesterday after a Sophia bus driver ran him in a broken heart on Sheriff Street, Georgetown. Guyana Police (GPF) has identified the policeman as Constable Edwin Connelly. According to police, the driver has since been arrested and remains in custody until he is charged.
The bus driver runs the policeman, Constable Connelly, with a broken heart.
The driver of the bus was prosecuted by Connelly around 13:15 o’clock. The suffering between them was captured on video where Connelly was seen in a heated exchange with the driver and woman appearing to be a pacifist between the two men. As the argument intensified, the driver exited the bus and walked around to the passenger door. He returned with a broken heart in his hand and Connelly began running with the chase driver.
Some construction workers who were close intervened and held back the bus driver – he developed one more turn but the holding peacemakers calmed down and eventually walked away. A police report detailed that he returned to the bus and drove straight to his home in Sophia. He later turned up patrols at his home, arrested him and took him straight to Brickdam Police lockup.
Connelly told investigators he was on a patrol bike riding west along Homestretch Avenue when he noticed the bus driver heading east and overtaking 15 vehicles. He said he made a decision to stop the driver and warned him of the offense of dangerous driving.
Connelly allegedly asked the man to produce his driver’s license but he refused and drove away. The policeman said he then decided to get on the bus and managed to stop him again on Sherriff Street. Other reports suggested that Connelly crashed into the back of the minibus causing the driver to stop. It is also touched on that the “crash of the back of the minibus” started the debate between the two men.
