The injured man has been identified as Yodesh Paul, a resident of Line Dam, Sisters Village, WBD.
According to police, the incident occurred sometime around 19:40hrs. Based on information received, the men were out imbibing at a shop in the area when an argument ensued between them. This led to the suspect only known as ‘Banga’ arming himself with a broken bottle.

Efforts were made to summon police ranks to the scene even as public-spirited citizens rushed Paul to the West Demerara Regional Hospital. He was treated and then transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) where he remains hospitalised.
Meanwhile, ‘Banga,’ the suspect, remains at large as police continue their investigation.
