A Corentyne taxi driver is nursing a gunshot wound at the New Amsterdam Hospital after he was attacked by bandits who stole his car.
The man, whose call name rover was the only identification available to this newspaper last night, is listed as being in a serious condition.
The incident occurred around 20:00 hours in the vicinity of Moleson Creek.
Details of the incident were sketchy last night but according to reports, the man had reportedly left a gas station at Corriverton shortly before he was shot.
He was first taken to the Skeldon Hospital before being transferred to New Amsterdam because of his condition.
Up to late last night his car HB 3172 had not been recovered by police who had launched a campaign to catch the perpetrators.
