Police are investigating the assault of a 33-year-old woman who was allegedly beaten by her former partner and two male relatives in Maloney Gardens early Monday morning. According to police reports, around 2:30 a.m., the woman went to the home of her former boyfriend in Maloney Gardens, D’Abadie, where an altercation occurred involving the man, his brother, and their stepfather, who is said to be a police officer.

Police said the assailants kicked and cuffed her about the body, causing serious injuries. She was taken to the Arima Health Facility by officers of the Maloney Police Station, where she was treated by a doctor and later transferred to the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex.
