Police are investigating two assaults on Court Street in Hamilton that have been circulating on social media.

Detectives revealed last night that one man has been arrested in connection with the investigations as they appealed for anyone with any information about either incident to come forward.

“Police have now been made aware of a second video circulating via social media showing another assault in the Court Street, Pembroke area and are actively seeking the suspects involved in both videos,” Acting Detective Chief Inspector Dave Greenidge said.

“Members of the public should be assured that these incidents are being taken seriously and the antisocial behaviour displayed will not be tolerated.

“Anyone committing offences in such videos can expect to be arrested and placed before the courts in due course.

“So far, one man has been arrested and inquiries regarding both incidents continue — with a reminder not to further circulate the videos, as such actions may compromise any potential court proceedings.”

Anyone with relevant information regarding these assaults should contact the Criminal Investigation Department on 247-1744 or the confidential and anonymous Crime Stoppers hotline 800-8477.
