Doctors at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) were last night treating two teenage girls for stab wounds, as well as their alleged assailant, all of whom were injured during an altercation at Second Street, Golden Grove, East Coast Demerara.
Sue Ann Goodings, 16, of Ann’s Grove, East Coast Demerara, was admitted with stab wounds to the head and neck at around 20:00 hrs , while her friend, Nozella Reid, 18, also of Ann’s Grove, was stabbed in the right leg.

Nigel Adams at the scene last evening

Their alleged assailant, 20-year-old Nigel Adams of Ann’s Grove, East Coast Demerara, was taken to the same hospital about an hour later after he was seen lying on a roadway bleeding from a stab wound to the left side.
Sources said that none of the injuries appeared to be life-threatening.
Kaieteur News understands that the teenage girls had just completed May-pole practice at a Golden Grove location when they were allegedly attacked by Adams, who is said to be Sue Ann Goodings’ boyfriend.
A man, claiming to be an acquaintance of Goodings, told Kaieteur News that he was in Second Street, Golden Grove, when he saw Adams assaulting the teen. The friend said that he intervened, but Adams then pulled off the teen’s gold chain and began searching her pockets.
“I parted them again and he (Adams) said that he wanted to talk to her, and I turned away, and by the time I turned back I saw him putting his hand in his sweater and he had her on the ground and was stabbing her.”
Nozella Reid, the other teen, alleged that Adams also stabbed her in the leg.
The eyewitness said that he managed to push Adams off his girlfriend, thus allowing her to escape. According to the man, he then picked up a piece of wood and chased Adams.
He then accompanied the wounded girl to the GPHC where she was admitted. Reid arrived shortly after and police later brought Adams to the same hospital.
A sister of Adams told reporters that the altercation occurred after her brother went to pick up his girlfriend and saw her with another man. She also alleged that the man attacked Adams. However, she declined to comment further when asked about reports that her brother had stabbed his girlfriend.
