Construction worker stabbed at Plaisance Bus Park

Jan 03, 2020 News

A resident of Westminster, West Bank Demerara (WBD) is now a patient at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC). He was stabbed several times while attempting to board a bus at the Plaisance Bus Park on Wednesday afternoon around 14:30hrs.
Relatives have identified the victim as 36-year-old Gary Craigen.
Kaieteur News understands that Craigen was in the vicinity of Bank of Baroda when he was stabbed four times by an unidentified male.
According to reports, the suspect, armed with a sharp object, was involved in a scuffle with Craigen just as persons were boarding a minibus. The suspect escaped south along Avenue of the Republic after the incident.
Craigen was picked up in an unconscious state by Emergency Medical Technicians and rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital.
When Kaieteur News visited the man at the city hospital where he is receiving medical attention for his wounds, Craigen who has regained consciousness was crying out for severe pain in his chest and shoulder where he was stabbed.
When asked if he had any idea who was the person that injured him, Mr. Craigen stated, “I am not a problem person; I was at the parking waiting to board a bus when I feel somebody grab me from behind. So I tried to fight off the person and that is when I got stabbed.
“When I woke up I was already at the hospital receiving treatment; but I think I know who stabbed me.”
A doctor at the city hospital told Kaieteur News that although the victim has regained consciousness his condition is still listed as serious because as a result of the stabbing one of his vital organs was pierced.
