A 43-year-old unemployed single father of three was arrested on Tuesday night, following a video which showed a man holding a knife while abusing a young boy.

When our reporter Cindy Raghubar-Teekersingh visited the community of Marac Village, Moruga on Wednesday, villagers were happy with the action taken by police.

They say the child is often abused by his father, but they believe because someone was able to capture this incident on video and share it online, that it was finally taken seriously by police.
