Williams said that he was sending a message on his phone when a young man rode up to him on a bicycle and snatched the device from his hands.
In an immediate reaction, Rollin turned and ran behind the man, grabbed him and retrieved the phone. Afterwards, he decided to run, but soon stumbled and fell. This allowed the bandit along with the others to attack him again.
However, in the bandit’s next attempt, he hopped of his bicycle, choked Williams and dealt him several stabs to the head with a scissors, while the others punched him about the body. In the process, the victim fell on the same cellular phone the bandits were after, causing the screen to shatter.
Realizing the phone was damaged, the men aborted their mission and fled the scene.
Williams gathered strength and ran a short distance before collapsing directly in front of Marriott.
Onlookers soon gathered around the man and luckily, one of his coworkers recognised him and immediately summoned a taxi. He was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he received medical attention and was later sent home. His mother was given strict instructions by doctors to monitor his condition closely for the next 48 hours.
A report was lodged at the Brickdam Police Station and police are now on the lookout for the suspects.
