The Minister of National Security, the Hon. Renee Ming, JP, MP, after visiting the scene of the stabbing incident on Parson’s Road yesterday morning, said, “I am shocked and outraged at what is the second violent attack on a person to take place this week.
“While I am glad that this stabbing incident has not resulted in an unspeakable tragedy, I want to convey to the young man and his family, you are in our thoughts and prayers at this time.
“I want to reassure the public that the Bermuda Police Service and the Ministry of National Security take this matter very seriously, as we do all acts of heinous violence.
“I will reiterate until I have no voice left that we cannot break this cycle of violence without your help. We must stand together against violence if we are to see an end to these senseless acts. I implore the Bermuda public, if you know something, you must say something if we want to see positive change. The persons responsible for this attack must be brought to justice."
“If you were in the area of Parson’s Road yesterday morning, and it is a certainty that people were travelling past the bus stop on their way to work, please call the Police.
“The smallest detail could make a difference in this and any investigation.”
The Ministry of National Security reminds the public that they can assist anonymously on the confidential Crime Stoppers Hotline on 800-8477 or dial 211 or the main police number on 295-0011.
