The sweetness of a woman is said to be the reason behind a recent clash between a constable in the Jamaica Constabulary Force and a sergeant of the Island Special Constabulary Force.

Reports are that the men clashed and the constable was headbutted, beaten, and had to seek medical attention after receiving injuries to his mouth and other parts of his body.

It is said that last Thursday, the constable, who is stationed at another division, came to his former division to attend the funeral of a colleague.

The senior policeman is said to have got information that the sergeant was also visiting the home of his child's mother at a Greater Portmore address in St Catherine.

THE STAR was told that when the sergeant reached the home he saw the constable there.

"He was caught at the home of the sergeant's babymother. The sergeant and the constable started to fight," a sergeant told THE STAR.

During the scuffle, the constable was headbutted, punched and beaten.
