Unable to control the situation in front of a raging crowd, the 5 police officers of the National Police of Haiti (PNH) fled and found refuge in the Dominican Republic where they were welcomed by their Dominican colleagues from Pedernales.

According to statements by Haitian police to agents of the Central Criminal Investigation Department (DICRIM), during the attack on their detachment, a Haitian was killed and several others injured. Subsequently, the 5 police officers were taken to the headquarters of the specialized body for the security of land borders (Cesfront) and then taken to the Jimaní border post in order to return to Haiti safely.

Thursday calm had returned to Anse-à-Pitres...
