The badly beaten woman
A female security guard attached to the Instant Security Service was attacked and severely beaten by two masked men, early yesterday morning, while she was stationed at the Hand in Hand Insurance Company on the Avenue of the Republic.
During the attack, the woman, 41-year-old Surdjai Charran, was struck on the head with an iron crowbar.
According to the woman’s husband, Herman Persaud, who spoke to this newspaper yesterday afternoon, he received a telephone call from his supervisor informing him about the incident.
Persaud who works nearby at the Guyana Stores Limited said that he received the call shortly after 04:00hrs.
He said that his wife managed to call his work place before she lost consciousness. He said that he arrived minutes after and saw his wife lying in a pool of blood. He said that he quickly whisked her away to the Georgetown hospital.
While at the medical institution his wife regained consciousness and managed to give him an account of what transpired.
The man said that his wife was at the front desk when the two men who were masked pounced on her. He said that the men demanded that his wife hand over her valuables, which included five gold rings and her cell phone.
“She was giving them the stuff and suddenly they start lashing she in she head with de iron bar” the man said.
He said that after they started hitting her in the head she collapsed at the site and regained consciousness at the hospital.
The woman is presently a patient at the Georgetown Hospital female surgical ward. She is nursing two clearly visible lacerations to the head, her skull is fractured and she is also wearing a neck brace. Charran was also receiving oxygen and intravenous drips.
The woman has been stationed at the Hand-in-Hand Insurance Company since August last and began working at the security company this past June.
Her husband said that before the attack happened he had pleaded with his wife to resign from the job because it was getting dangerous.
