The family of a Zeelugt man is seeking the public’s assistance to raise funds for him to undergo an emergency surgery to prevent him from going completely blind.
Julius Taylor, 34, who is a sea captain and father of three, has lost the vision in his left eye after he was hit by several men outside the Parika Police Station.
His sister, Betsy Taylor, told Stabroek News that he was hit to his head with glass bottles. He also sustained a broken nose and jaw as well as multiple lacerations to his eyes, she said.
Currently Julius has to undergo an urgent surgery in Trinidad to save the right eye, which has also been damaged. His sister said that his vision in the right eye is blurred.
