A video excerpt being shared on social media, which depicts an altercation between a woman and man, has prompted a warning from the Bermuda Police Service.

A spokesman said the confrontation shown in the clip was an older matter now under investigation, with one person arrested and bailed.

He added that circulating the video could jeopardise the continuing investigation.

Anyone receiving the clip was asked to delete it rather than pass it on.
