Squib throwing leaves man with split lip
While many celebrated the New Year with lots of love and laughter, 22-year-old Prakash Dahadur broke 2013 at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) – this was after a squib landed on his mouth.
The Metro employee received two stitches for the wound he sustained.
The injured Dahadur
Dahadur of Lot 364 Good Hope, East Coast Demerara (ECD) said that he was standing by his gate a few minutes before 2013 when he felt a sudden and painful impact on his mouth.
“I was standing by the gate and I feel a hard hit on my mouth and blood started to run so I run inside. After I feel the hit I done know is squib,” the 22-year-old man recalled. He said that he does not know who threw the explosive device.
Late last year a woman was arrested in connection with a squib throwing incident that occurred at the La Penitence Market and left a woman with burns to her arm and abdomen.
A police source yesterday told Kaieteur News that squibs are illegal and if a person is caught with the miniature explosive device he or she will be arrested and placed before the Courts.
