“De man holla that I urine on he farm and then he run towards me and stab me,” said Samuel Duncan, who was stabbed in the chest and abdomen just after 17:00 hrs on Monday at Guyhoc Park.

Duncan, 26, of ‘E’ Field, Sophia was surrounded by family members as he lay on his bed in the Open Ward at the Georgetown Public Hospital yesterday.

In a strained voice, Duncan related to Stabroek News that he left his home that afternoon and was walking through Guyhoc Park when he felt the urge to urine. He stated “I stopped near de blacka [Lamaha Canal] and relieved myself”. But as he was about to move off from the spot “a man come running towards me saying that I just urinate on he farm.”

Duncan said that he did not notice any plants around the area, just bushes. He went on to say that the man had a knife in one hand and a scissors in the other but he did not know which one the man had used to stab him twice.
He said further that after stabbing him, the man robbed him of his cell phone which he had in his left-side pants’ pocket before fleeing the scene.

Duncan said he was left lying on the road crying out in pain and some time later, another man who was passing went to his assistance and rushed him to the hospital in a taxi. He said the incident was reported at the police station but he did not know if his attacker had been arrested.
