CALLS for the dismissal and arrest of Haiti’s police chief grew today as heavily armed gangs launched a new attack in the capital of Port-au-Prince.

The latest attack saw gangs seizing control of yet another police station early on Saturday.

Armed men raided the coastal community of Gressier in the western tip of Port-au-Prince late on Friday, injuring people, burning cars and attacking homes and other infrastructure as scores of people fled into the nearby mountains following a barrage of gunfire overnight.
