A senior doctor in Madang, Dr. Jimmy Apit, has accused a police officer of a violent assault on his family, alleging the officer was intoxicated at the time of the attack. Dr. Apit claims the incident began when the officer assaulted his son near Kalibobo House, leaving him with serious injuries. Upon taking his son to Jomba Police Station to file a formal complaint, Dr. Apit alleges the same officer later returned with a group, forcefully entered his home, and physically attacked his family and other residents. “I went outside, and he and his friends started attacking me with knives, iron plates, and other objects,” Dr. Apit recounted, adding that multiple people sustained injuries, including himself. He further alleges that when they returned to the police station to file another complaint, the officer, now in uniform and armed, resumed his assault, even pointing a gun at Dr. Apit and his children while issuing threats. Dr. Apit insists his son did nothing to provoke the officer and has since alerted both the Provincial Police Commander (PPC) and the Police Station Commander (PSC). However, he remains deeply concerned for his family's safety, saying they continue to receive threats. In response, Madang Provincial Police Commander, Acting Superintendent Robert Baim, said the matter has been addressed. Meanwhile, medical staff at Madang Provincial Hospital have staged a gathering at the hospital premises, condemning the attack on their colleague and calling for immediate action to ensure their safety.
