U.K Sprinter Zharnel Hughes was held up at gunpoint in an attempted robbery at the University of the West Indies Usain Bolt Track in Mona, St Andrew Tuesday evening as he prepared for a practise session.
Hughes, who represents Great Britain, said he was at his car putting on his sneakers when the armed robber approached him.
“I was putting on my sneakers at my trunk and this guy just came up pointing a gun in my face. He asked me for my phone and I ran off and the guy opened fire,” Hughes said.
It is reported that a licensed firearm holder who was at the venue returned the fire.
No one was injured in the ordeal.
Hughes said he reported the matter to the police.
When contacted, an officer at the Mona police post said she was aware of the shooting but there was no formal report.
My gosh thank God you weren’t not hurt, if you reading this next time give them phone and go buy 1 next one. I guess you run out of fright.
Puppa jeezas
This is madness, the police in Jamaica don’t care.what is going to happen since they cannot control the crime the Americans is gonna take over call it ground zero and send in their troops..
This yute has real potential as a speed merchant so maybe he felt like he could outrun his attacker.God in HIS infinite wisdom decided NOT to teach you the lesson that you can’t outrun bullets. ..hence u get whey this Time. Uwi needs to beef up security ten folds cuz the security guards don’t even have batons!
I personally wouldn’t hesitate to hand over my phone to a Robber but under no condition would I do so to my main lady, her mom nor her friends. ..haffi shoot me enuh! !
