Injured is Gladwin Wesh of Mocha, East Bank Demerara.
According to the victim’s son, Mark Brooks, he was going up Regent Street when he saw a huge crowd. “I went up and the people say that a man just got robbed and badly beaten, when I peep I see my father with his whole face smashed in.”
Gladwin noted that he immediately rushed his father to the GPHC where he was instantly admitted to the Accident and Emergency Unit.
