Photo story: T&T Parliament vandalised

The picture tells the story ... shattered glass at the entrance of Parliament Chambers on Wrightson Road, Port-of-Spain early Wednesday morning.

The parliament was one of several buildings that were damaged during a rampage by a man who is now in police custody.

Reports say the mentally challenged man attacked the Charlotte Street branch of Standards Distributors Ltd, and Scotia Bank and First Citizens Bank on Independence Square as well as the Parliament.

Commentators on social media have condemned the vandalism and have demanded swift action to apprehend and punish the perpetrators to the fullest extent of the law. 

"This attack is not only aimed at the Parliament and Politicians, but should be seen as an attack on the population at large," one blogger said.
