The Waigani police station commander Micha Yosman says he will see to it that soldiers involved in a confrontation yesterday (5th November) will be dealt with.
PSC Yosman tells PNG Loop that the ten soldiers who went to the station and bashed his three unarmed men behaved badly for men in uniform.
He says that it is also bad form as they should have allowed police to gather and sort out the compensation payments that they were trying to get.
The soldiers were supposed to have picked up the payments as part of an outside settlement of an incident involving a policeman bashing one of their comrades last week during a crowd control clash.
Yosman says that the previous incident was on the way to being settled but had now been blown out of context by the disgruntled actions of the soldiers.
While an army company cannot be confirmed, the soldiers involved, Yosman says, are based at Taurama Barracks.
