Bridgetown.
Newly appointed principal of the Parkinson Schhool Jeff Broomes was allegedly assaulted on the school's compound this morning.
Police Public Relations Officer of the Royal Barbados Police Force Inspector David Welch told the media that around 9:30 a.m, a parent of a student walked onto the school’s compound and refused to leave when asked to by authorities.
He said reports are that the parent then made his way into the principal’s office, assaulted him and snatched off his spectacles which he destroyed in the process.
According to a source the attack was triggered after Broomes contacted the parent of the 15-year-old student over her attendance record. The student did not attend school for an extended period but turned up for class yesterday.
The police and Ministry of Education officials are investigating the incident.
