The incident occurred around 15:30 hours in front of the East Ruimveldt Secondary School, where the injured lad attends.
Injured is Jermaine Bright of Lot 92 Block E Sophia. According to information received, Bright was just about to leave the High school when his attacker sneaked up behind him and stabbed him his back and escaped.
Yesterday at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), the third former had just finished undergoing an X-ray and was preparing to go back to his doctor. Bright’s wound is not life threatening.
The lad told this publication that he believes his attacker stabbed him over a persistent problem they had since they were in the first form at their respective schools.
“I beat he two times, one time when we were in Form one and another when we were in Form two. And today he come to my school at lunch time and tell me he gon beat me bad, bad,” the third former recalled.
He claimed that he was in front of his school talking with his friends and as he was about to leave, his attacker, who was nowhere near the vicinity, appeared behind him and “juk me and he run away.”
Up to press time yesterday, there was no news of Bright’s attacker.
It was only Tuesday that a 13-year-old Dolphin Secondary School student was stabbed in his abdomen with a pair of scissors by his school mate.
The 13-year-old is still hospitalized at the GPHC while his attacker is in police custody.
