National footballer Rensford Coleridge, who was stabbed about his body less than two weeks ago, allegedly by his neighbour, has been released from the hospital even though he sustained significant lung damage.
Coleridge, called ‘Baba,’ 28, a member of Western Tigers Football Club and of Queen Street, South Cummingsburg, Georgetown, was stabbed around 9 pm on July 19.
He was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he was admitted in a critical condition; he was semi-conscious and breathing through a ventilator.
Stabroek News was informed that Coleridge was sitting in front of a shop, located a short distance away from his home, watching television, when the suspect, who was armed with a knife, confronted him and stabbed him several times about his body.
The suspect, 48-year-old Oswald Andrews, has since been charged with attempted murder.
Coleridge’s aunt, Tracy (only name given), recently informed this newspaper that although Coleridge was discharged from the hospital on Monday last, he was unable to move around as he desired since he was experiencing problems breathing.
