Brisbane police officer recovering after allegedly being stabbed in the faceA Brisbane senior constable is recovering in hospital after allegedly being stabbed in the face and a Mount Gravatt man remains in hospital after being shot in the abdomen in Brisbane's south overnight. I don’t think you need to state “allegedly” - either they were stabbed in the face or not. I think you’ll find the facts as to whether they were stabbed in the face or not are pretty settled. They will however allege it was a certain individual that carried out the act. I’m guess I’ll not be alone in requesting you please use the word appropriately. stupid heading sounds as if you don't believe the police version..shame on you for believing the criminal more than police recovering in hospital.
