Detectives assigned to the St Andrew North Policing Division have charged 65-year-old businessman Robert Bell, otherwise called ‘Andy Bell’ of Grosvenor Terrace, St Andrew, with assault occasioning actual bodily harm following the assault of a nurse along Mt Friendship Road, in the parish on Tuesday, May 13.
Reports from the Stony Hill Police are that at about 7:15 pm, Bell, who was the driver of a Mercedes-Benz motor vehicle ahead of a woman’s Toyota Vitz motor car, abruptly halted and started swerving along the roadway.
The woman allegedly attempted to drive around Bell’s vehicle when he stopped, got out, shoved his head into the woman’s vehicle, spat in her face and struck the vehicle repeatedly with his hand. The woman exited her vehicle to make checks for damage when she saw Bell with a handgun. He then flung her to the ground and physically assaulted her, causing swelling and bruises all over her body.
A report was made to the police, and Bell was subsequently apprehended and taken into custody, where he was formally charged.
His court date is being finalised.
