Man shot, robbed in Sophia
A 42-year-old driver was shot in the left shoulder and relieved of his valuables by a robber on a bicycle at around 16.00 hrs yesterday in ‘D’ Field, Sophia.
Alim Mohamed, of Lot 521 ‘D’ Field, Sophia, East Coast Demerara, said that he had just exited a bus and was walking home when a man on a bicycle rode up and demanded that he hand over all that he had. Mohamed said that after he refused, the man drew a gun and again demanded his valuables.
Believing that the gun was not loaded, Mohamed said he again refused and attempted to fight with his attacker, who then shot him, and relieved him of some cash and a cell phone before escaping.
The injured man’s wife took him to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he was treated.
