Currently hospitalised in a serious condition at the New Amsterdam Hospital is Lawrence Rodriques, 56, of Rose Hall Town, Corentyne, Berbice. According to information provided by the police, the victim removed a bicycle from the suspect’s yard and it resulted in a heated argument. The suspect then armed himself with a cutlass as the man was heading out of the yard with the bicycle and confronted him. He dealt the victim a chop and he fell to the ground. The incident which was caught on video showed the victim on the ground screaming in pain as he held the bicycle in front of him to protect himself while the suspect was firing chops and hurling expletives at him.
