PORT-AU-PRINCE: A man choked to death Tuesday and 23 others were injured when riot police were called to break up a scuffle outside a police recruiting center in the Haitian capital, police said, a foreign news agency reported on Wednesday.
The dead man, 23-year-old Jerry Prophete, was among thousands who answered a recruitment call for the new Haitian police force. Riot police used tear gas and bludgeons to maintain order in the crowd after a scuffle. People in the crowd struck back at the police by throwing rocks. French troops later intervened to restore calm and treat the wounded. |
