A 28-year-old man from Aishalton, South Rupununi is currently nursing a wound at the Georgetown Public Hospital after an outing with friends went ugly.
Mechanic Mark Dookie, was shot once in the back with an arrow by a man who he reportedly had a confrontation with. The mechanic is recovering in the High Dependency Unit (HDU) of the hospital.
According to a release from the police, Dookie was shot early yesterday morning. It is alleged that Dookie and the suspect were drinking when they had a misunderstanding.
The suspect who was apparently dissatisfied went away and later attacked Dookie at another location with a bow and arrow, leaving the arrow stuck in the man’s back.
Dookie was taken for medical attention in the area and was subsequently air lifted to the city where staffers of the GPHC collected him from the Ogle Airport.
The suspect in the matter has not yet been arrested.
