A Spe­cial Re­serve Po­lice (SRP) of­fi­cer among four men in po­lice cus­tody as po­lice in­ves­ti­ga­tors probe the ab­duc­tion a 21 year old Diego Mar­tin man on Sat­ur­day.

The vic­tim, iden­ti­fied as Nicholas Ju­man, man­aged to es­cape his at­tack­ers and made his way to a near­by po­lice sta­tion.

The four sus­pects were ar­rest­ed in Bel­mont fol­low­ing the in­ci­dent which was caught on video in which Ju­man is seen be­ing beat­en and shoved in­to a white mo­tor­car. The in­ci­dent was re­port­ed­ly video­taped by his friends who were at the car park of the Trinidad Hilton and Con­fer­ence Cen­tre.

In the video Ju­man is seen strug­gles with his ab­duc­tors as they at­tempt­ed to shove him in­to the trunk of a ve­hi­cle on the La­dy Young Road.

Sev­er­al ve­hi­cles passed but none of the dri­vers stopped to ren­der as­sis­tance.

Ju­man, of Diego Mar­tin Main Road, in Diego Mar­tin, was the first per­son ab­duct­ed in this coun­try’s for 2018

They said quick think­ing on his part led to his es­cape and the sub­se­quent cap­ture of his ab­duc­tors.

Ac­cord­ing to re­ports, Ju­man was leav­ing the Hilton around 11 pm Sat­ur­day and as he was about to en­ter his friend’s ve­hi­cle a white Suzu­ki mo­tor­car with four men pulled up and told him it was a hold-up.

Eye­wit­ness­es said Ju­man im­me­di­ate­ly ran down the hill and on­to the La­dy Young Road where he was cor­nered. Video footage shows four men bundling him in­to the trunk of a ve­hi­cle.

But as the men drove off and be­gan mak­ing their way around the Queen’s Park Sa­van­nah, Ju­man kicked his way out of the trunk, jumped out the mov­ing ve­hi­cle, free­ing him­self near a night club. De­spite re­ceiv­ing sev­er­al in­juries, he made his way to the Bel­mont Po­lice Sta­tion.

Po­lice said an All Points Bul­letin was is­sued and of­fi­cers from the Port- of- Spain Di­vi­sion Task Force and CID re­spond­ed.

The po­lice in­ter­cept­ed the ve­hi­cle on Her­mitage Road in Bel­mont with the four sus­pects.

The four, in­clud­ing the 24- year- old SRP of Ari­ma were tak­en in­to cus­tody. The oth­er men are said to be from Ari­ma, D’Abadie and Aranguez.

Ju­man was tak­en to the Port- of- Spain Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal for treat­ment.

Po­lice said the sus­pect face charges of kid­nap­ping, rob­bery with vi­o­lence and false im­pris­on­ment.

Head of Port- of-Spain CID act­ing Se­nior Supt Ajith Per­sad is head­ing the in­ves­ti­ga­tion.
