NATIONAL Security Minister Wayne Munroe says he is still awaiting an official report from authorities after an eight-year-old boy on his way to school was hit by an armoured truck.

Minister Munroe in a side interview with The Tribune at the PLP National Convention yesterday said he is aware that a boy was rushed into surgery after he was struck by a vehicle as he tried to cross the road.

It’s said that the boy was hit by an armoured vehicle speeding east in the area of Wulff Road and Quintine Alley at around 9am on Wednesday.

A series of videos posted on social media showed crowds and two officers rushing to the boy’s aid as others screamed for an ambulance.

According to police reports, the boy was last listed in serious condition.

When asked if he had received an official report on the incident, Minister Munroe said he expects to be officially debriefed before the weekend.

“I haven’t seen a report in that event yet,” He said. “I’ve seen the videos, but I haven’t seen the police report and they generally report to me after some investigations have been completed. I would hope that that would come within the week.”
