NASSAU, BAHAMAS – The Royal Bahamas Force (RBPF) is seeking to make a correction to information which it disseminated to media yesterday afternoon following a violent incident which unfolded at the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services (BDOCS); newly appointed Police Press Liaison Sheria King informed media early Thursday morning that authorities were reportedly “ill-informed,” when they initially told media that an inmate at BDOCS was stabbed yesterday afternoon.
King said that it was later determined to be a “Causing Harm,” matter and not a stabbing incident.
She further explained that, “information is that the victim was assaulted with a bucket.”
As for the medical status of the victim, King said he remains in “stable condition.”
This is the second violent incident to unfold at the prison in just a matter of days, over the weekend an inmate Brody Fritz was stabbed to death by another inmate.
