Kaieteur News – A pedestrian on Friday apparently lost his temper and shattered a car windscreen after the driver, Harricharn Alfred, 49, honked his horn at him. Alfred, a construction worker of Zeelugt New Housing Scheme, East Bank Essequibo (EBE) told cops that the man broke his car windscreen around 19:15hrs at the Fuel Care Gas Station, Blankenburg, West Coast Demerara (WCD).
According to police, not only did the man damage Alfred’s car but with the help of two others attacked him and his sons who were passengers in the said car, with knives and cutlass for confronting them. Alfred claimed that he was entering the gas station when he saw the man and his two accomplices standing in his pathway. He noticed that the men were imbibing alcohol at the time and decided to honk his horn for them to move out of the way.
The man however got annoyed and pelt a glass bottle towards their front windscreen causing it to break. Alfred told investigators that he and his two sons exited the car and walked out to confront them. The man however became violent and a slight scuffle ensued between them. During the scuffle, the pedestrian pulled out two knives while one of his accomplice drew a cutlass.
