Sophia man struck in head with plank now in HDU
The 20-year-old Sophia man who was on Tuesday last, struck in the head “with a 2×4 piece of wood” was admitted in the High-Dependency-Unit (HDU) at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
Devonty Da Silva, of 862 ‘B’ Field Sophia, Georgetown, and a student of Mercy Wings Vocational School, was allegedly struck in the head by a vengeful teenager.
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.
The police have since arrested two of the suspects.
