Police Waigani

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.

Currently police are all on alert following the confrontation that left one of their men in hospital with head injuries while two received treatment and were discharged.

Police station commander Micha Yosman says that he has met with the Superintendent Operations Philip Kulwaum who will be speaking with military officials first thing today.

For now Waigani residents have been advised that should they have any police matter, to go to either Gordons or Hohola stations until this matter is dealt with by the police and army commands.
