Cop hurt after driver rams barricade

NASSAU-Authorities are looking for a driver who injured a police officer after ramming a barricade on Tuesday morning.

The incident happened around 1am during the Boxing Day Junkanoo Parade.

The officer was stationed at the juncture of West Bay and Nassau Streets when the driver of a black, Japanese car rammed the barricade—and kept driving.

The police officer was taken to the hospital, where he was treated and discharged.

This was the only major incident that occurred during the Junkanoo Parade, police said.

Officers from the Royal Bahamas Police Force and Royal Bahamas Defence Force provided security for the parade.
