Police attended a “report of assault on two Regiment soldiers who were carrying out security duties at the Bulls Head Car Park Covid testing site,” with the female suspect “located by officers and arrested.”
A police spokesperson said, “At 12:30pm on Friday 5th March, 2021, officers were dispatched to a report of assault on two Regiment soldiers who were carrying out security duties at the Bulls Head Car Park Covid testing site.
“The victims stated that they were performing traffic duties to separate Covid testing visitors from car parking traffic, when around 12:00pm a female riding a black Click motorcycle, attempted to use a Corporation of Hamilton swipe card to gain access to the parking lot but was unsuccessful.
“The Regiment personnel advised her to take a ticket from the machine and to sort out the issue at a later time.
“The woman instead allegedly reversed her bike then drove it into one of the soldiers. She reportedly struck him in the right leg and rode over his right foot.
“The suspect is said to have again reversed her bike, drove toward the other soldier and rode over his left foot. The suspect then rode off, but remained at the location where she was eventually located by officers and arrested.
“The suspect was subsequently interviewed at the Hamilton Police Station and granted police bail.
“Inquiries into both matters remain ongoing and anyone with information on either incident is urged to call 211 or, the main police number, 295-0011.”
