The injured teen.
According to information, a Sophia resident had organized an Independence Day party at which Da Silva was the bar man.
A teen, identified as ‘Chucky’ allegedly tried to steal a Mackeson stout from Da Silva but was eventually caught and was forced to leave the party.
On Tuesday however, ‘Chucky’ and his friends formed a group and “tackled” the 20-year-old. It first started with an argument and ended with ‘Chucky’ brother hitting him with the plank.
The 20-year-old fell to the ground. He was subsequently transferred to the GPHC, where he spent several hours undergoing surgery.
