The police have expressed that they have not been giving entertainer Bridgez the runaround and are dealing with her assault case with utmost professionalism.

The entertainer, who was attacked at a pan chicken spot on Red Hills Road last Friday night, expressed shock at the police’s decision to release her attacker.

However, Superintendent Stephanie Lindsay, head of the Constabulary Communications Unit, explained that it should have been explained to her that when she went to the police station she was bleeding, and there is a protocol that says when you come to the police station and you’re bleeding, they (the police) are conscious and will only take some pertinent information from you and ensure that you go and get medicalattention, They will not sit and record a statement while you’re bleeding.”

Lindsay said Bridgez was taken to the University Hospital of the West Indies by a police unit to received medical treatment and by the time Bridgez received medical attention, the officer who was on duty when she initially went to the police station had completed his shift and they advised her accordingly; the statement was taken and she was informed that investigations are being carried out.

Lindsay said the artiste was informed that there are two cases of assault currently being investigated as the man who attacked her also filed an assault report.

Bridgez however stated that her primary focus now is on recovering from her injuries and she wants justice to be served.

Bridgez, given name Bridgette Roache, is known for songs including Put It On Me, Distracted, and Roll Out, featuring Bounty Killer.
