Machete-armed man disarms gunmen in Portland
PORTLAND, Jamaica — A Portland resident handed a gun over to the police after reportedly disarming two gunmen who attacked him on Tuesday, June 29.
Reports are that the man and his relative had entered their yard about 8:40 pm when they were attacked by the gunmen. A tussle reportedly ensued between the man and one of the gunmen who was armed with the firearm.
The police said the complainant used a machete to chop one of the gunmen before the hoodlums made a hasty escape leaving the firearm behind.
The police were alerted and the illegal firearm — a .38 Titan Tiger revolver with four .38 rounds of ammunition — was handed over to them.
Both the complainant and his relative escaped unhurt.
