Police are still trying to locate a 17-year-old and his older brother from Mashabo. The younger of the two brothers, it was reported, allegedly inflicted multiple stab wounds with a knife to the back of another teenager from the Essequibo Coast.
The incident occurred Sunday night in the Amerindian community. The teen, who is in a serious condition, is said to be receiving saline at the Suddie Public Hospital.
The older brother of the teen apparently dealt slaps to the now injured teen.
Reports added that while the injured teen did not retaliate, he was observed holding onto the older brother. During that episode, the younger brother sneaked up and proceeded to stab the victim with a knife.
This recent incident is said to be the second wounding to occur on two previous heritage celebrations. Two brothers were involved in a fight last year. The younger brother was hospitalised after he sustained injuries at the hands of his older brother.
