Variety was told by the victim’s neighbor that police thought the victim, a former garment worker, was the suspect in an “ice” trafficking case.
The victim has filed a complaint of assault and battery, and assault with a dangerous weapon.
Commissioner Santiago F. Tudela who has just returned to the island, said the Department of Public Safety will issue a statement today.
The United Workers Movement-NMI is asking the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the local Attorney General’s Office and DPS to conduct an investigation.
The victim, Wang Jin Dong, said he was on the terrace of their barracks on the second floor of a building in As Lito when two men from the ground shouted at him to “stop,” while aiming their flashlights at him.
Wang said he had just finished cooking dinner at about 8 p.m. and was about to go to his room when another male individual armed with a handgun approached and ordered him “to stay put” while pointing a handgun at him.
The armed individual walked behind him, and hit Wang’s head with the handgun, the victim said.
While blood oozed from his head as he lay on the concrete floor, Wang said the same armed individual handcuffed him and kicked his body several times.
Wang said there were other people who entered his room.
He said the armed individual took his wallet and looked for his identification card.
At this point, the victim’s wife arrived, but was prevented from coming near her husband.
Police asked her if she knew the person in the picture shown to her, identified as Junding Qiu, who is wanted by the police for possession and trafficking of “ice.”
She said she didn’t know the suspect.
Wang, who was not taken into custody, was later transported to the Commonwealth Health Center.
He said the individuals who came to his place were not wearing police uniform.
