A 60-year-old man has been arrested by the Accra Regional Police Command for allegedly assaulting his 16-year-old biological son at North Legon.
According to a police statement issued on May 6, preliminary investigations revealed that the incident occurred on May 3, 2026, after the teenager reportedly went out to play football with friends.
The suspect, identified as Eric Mante, allegedly confronted the victim, tied him to a quad motorbike and sped off with him. Police say the teenager fell onto the tarred road near Adonai Church and was dragged along the road, sustaining multiple injuries.
Residents who heard the victim screaming reportedly intervened and stopped the suspect from continuing the assault.
The victim was rushed to the Legon Hospital for medical treatment, while the suspect was arrested by police.
During investigations, the suspect allegedly admitted to the act, claiming he acted out of anger over the boy’s behaviour. He has since been charged and put before court.
The Accra Regional Police Command condemned all forms of violence against children and urged parents and guardians to adopt lawful and non-violent means of disciplining children.
