A 22-year-old East La Penitence resident is currently a patient at the Georgetown Public Hospital, after he was stabbed more than five times by a man whom he claimed had robbed him about a week ago.
Reports are that Carlton Westford had just left a group of friends and was heading home, yesterday, when he saw the suspect he claimed had robbed him only last week.
Westford said that he approached the man. Eyewitnesses later said that an argument ensued between the two and the suspect picked up a bottle, broke it and stabbed Westford multiple times about his body.
Westford who was bleeding profusely was picked up and rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital where his condition is listed as critical.
The young man received stab wounds to the ears, arms, shoulder and twice in the abdomen. Up to press time doctors at the institution were trying to stabilise his condition.
