Court bans teens from scene of guard attack

Teens attack a security guard at the Port Lucaya Marketplace on Christmas Eve

NASSAU- Four teenagers accused of beating up a security guard have been banned from going to the Port Lucaya Marketplace as a condition of their $2,500 bail.

The accused—two 14-year-olds and two 15-year-olds—are charged with causing harm to the 48-year-old guard at the Lucaya Marketplace on Christmas Eve.

A cellphone video of the incident that went viral online shows the teens punching and kicking the guard as he lay on the ground.

Senior Magistrate Charlton Smith forbid the accused from going to the Marketplace and interfering with the victim pending their trial, which is set to begin on February 8, 2023.
