Local Government Minister Desmond McKenzie has condemned the attack on a nearly 70-year-old homeless man, Leslie, in Port Maria, St Mary, and urged the public to help police identify the perpetrators.
Leslie was assaulted and robbed on April 1 near the Port Maria Market and was hospitalized before being stabilized at Kingston Public Hospital.
McKenzie called on homeless individuals to use shelters and drop-in centres for safety and basic services.
He also urged Jamaicans to denounce attacks on vulnerable people and provide information to law enforcement to ensure offenders face justice.
