The police in Trelawny are hunting for a handcart driver who operates in the Falmouth market and is said to be responsible for the injuring of a number of persons.

In the latest incident, a man and a woman both reportedly suffered broken legs on separate occasions in the last two weeks, allegedly due to the handcart driver's recklessness.

"In the past two weeks, he is said to be responsible for the injuring of a number of persons ... . He broke a man's foot two weeks ago, and last Saturday a woman's foot was also broken," a corporal from the Area One police told THE STAR.

According to the corporal, the police have since gone to the market in search of the 'reckless driver' but he is yet to be found.

THE STAR heard that the man who recently began to operate in the market pushes his handcart carelessly and even argues with those who cross his path.

"Based on what we heard, this man behaves like a drunk driver ... . He runs through the market and bullies people out of the way ... . This maybe nothing new, but he is injuring people so we have to speak to him," the corporal explained.

According to the police, at least six persons have been injured in the last three weeks, while vendors in the market have complained to the police about the situation.
