A 32-year-old man of Ar­gyle, To­ba­go, is ex­pect­ed to an­swer to one count of as­sault oc­ca­sion­ing bod­i­ly harm when he ap­pears be­fore a Scar­bor­ough Mag­is­trate to­day.

The man was ar­rest­ed on Tues­day af­ter a re­port was made to po­lice that a ten-year-old boy was phys­i­cal­ly as­sault­ed.

WPC Pro­cope-My­ers, of the To­ba­go Child Pro­tec­tion Unit (CPU), in­ves­ti­gat­ed the re­port and al­le­ga­tions that the boy was dragged from his aunt’s home to his moth­er’s house and dealt sev­er­al blows about the body.

The at­tack is al­leged to have arisen out of an in­ci­dent in which the boy ran away from his moth­er’s house to hide at his aunt’s house af­ter be­ing told by his moth­er to get ready for his Zoom class. The boy's grand­par­ents in­ter­vened dur­ing the al­leged as­sault.

The man was sub­se­quent­ly ar­rest­ed and charged.
