The man was attacked by five men, two of whom were armed with handguns around 20:30hrs on Wednesday. Police said that, “investigations revealed that the victim was in the Warlock area when his 14-year-old stepson informed him that some boys in the area took advantage of him. As such, Johnson approached the five young men his stepson told him about, and while Johnson was finding out what happened between his stepson and the boys, he observed two men approaching him, both armed with handguns.”
