Man Alleged Police Brutalized Him After Getting into Car Accident

Typically, fender benders do not result in serious injuries, but in the case of Omar Matus, he walked away from one drenched in blood. Reports are that on Monday night, the Belmopan resident was in a minor car accident and upon the arrival of the police, a conflict arose between Matus and the officers. Matus alleges that the police proceeded to beat him severely, resulting in injuries to his face. Matus was taken to the Western Regional Hospital, where he received stitches to his right eye. We are awaiting further details from police on this incident.
