Miner gets chopped after parting fight

Jul 23, 2011 News

Twenty-year-old Junior Gordon was having a grand time at a rum shop when the unexpected happened. He was drinking with a few friends at a street side rum shop in Port Kaituma on July 17, last, when a fight broke out.
“A man come and jook me friend jus like that for no reason.”
He said that he was forced to intervene. Trying to part the fight before things got nasty. Junior got between the two men and tried pushing them a part.
He said that the man eventually backed off, leaving Junior Gordon and his friends alone.
But the man returned, but this time he had a cutlass. Junior and his friends were unaware that the man had returned. The man allegedly pulled the cutlass and dealt junior one chop across his left hand.
“De man did back off and walk way but then de man come back with a cutlass in he hand and chop me”
The unidentified man left the rum shop after he chopped Junior’s left hand. No one paid any attention to the man as he was leaving but instead sought to help Junior.
“Meh hear dem ketch he an dem lock he up”
It is still unclear as to why the fight started in the first place and what exactly was done by local law enforcers.
At the hospital Junior Gordon seemed to be in good spirit and recovering as expected. He is expected to be released next week.
