ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI- A customer of a bank in Road Town was reportedly injured and had to seek medical attention after he was hit with a rock thrown by a man who went berserk on Monday, January 11, 2021.

Reports are that for unknown reasons the suspect began behaving “erratic” while on the bank’s premises. He allegedly went off the property, armed himself with rocks, and threw two of them in the direction of the bank’s entrance door.

One of the rocks reportedly hit a customer who had to seek medical attention at Dr D. Orlando Smith Hospital.

Several persons, including a security guard, witnessed the incident, including the accused hurling expletives and threatening to “kill someone”.

Reports are that the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force is reviewing CCTV footage to identify the perpetrator.

    The fat guy who walks around town tried to throw a rock at someone the other day. The government needs to do something with these people who are allowed to walk around among us.

    You are so right with what you just said " Boat Ride".
    Treasure and East were born in Space so that's why they are so immature and don't know what part of the world they come from.
    Tortola is one of the smallest island in the world and they still continue to call down the big Caribbean countries.
    At the end of the day we are all black.
    Why cant we live like civilized white and colored people.
    It is so stupid to discriminate among our own black people.
    May father God help us.
    SMH........

      Big Caribbean Island"????Seriously,??
      What',What's, so big about a country or people who are ashamed to be identified...can't get any smaller than that not even in your own eyes can you be without shame if identified from your identity...pathetic...you shame and degradeyour " big" counties with your gross generational and cultural behaviour and don't have the decency to make change. Shameful and embarrassing to all Black folks.

        There's a saying that he who generalises generally lies. Stop painting people from the Caribbean with such a broad brush. I know several "indigenous" BV Islanders who are scamps - liars, thieves, manipulators, etc, but I would be an idiot to believe that all BV Islanders are like that. We continue to pull each other down and then wonder why persons from other parts of the world and other ethnicities don't take us seriously; we wonder how they can come into our communities and achieve success in short order. You know why? They support each other and they work together because they know that there is strength in unity. It would be wonderful if all of us "island people" (whether down, up, or across) could learn that lesson!

          A bit difficult to do when they come with the standard reputation, confirmed by their crime statistics from where they originate with daily reporting of crimes unimaginable, crimes directed specifically at people ,looking like themselves...their bros ,sisters and grannies....
          Saying is, you can takea person out of their country but cannot take their country out of them. A reason why some of us are persons non grata wherever we go. The onus is on the intruder to prove their intentions and their mission and the quality of their character.

      where and what discrimination? These updeislun ifolks are here precisely because in their own country their freedom is restricted and because of their religion,ethnicity, class,their color and othe natural differences. These folks scrambke and come here because there is no discrimination. However they are not without f without serious flaws. These flaws impinge on countries wherever they go and they become a threat to the quality of life of countiriees...quality of lifedecreases, property values diminish,crime increases. They need to be bold and face their enemiy who is staring back at them each and every time they look on the mirror. and learn about gratitude.
