A Riverstown, Essequibo man was brutally chopped about his body after intervening in an argument between a man and his reputed wife at Silver Hill landing, Mazaruni, Region Seven.
Police said the man identified as ‘Plait Hair’ and his reputed wife were involved in a heated argument and arrived at the shop where the victim Ryan Jones worked as a shopkeeper.
As the argument continued, Jones cautioned the man about his behaviour.
Annoyed by what was said to him, the suspect, who was at the time armed with a cutlass and a knife, launched an attack on Jones.
During the attack, Jones sustained several stabs wounds about his body. The suspect then fled the scene and made good his escape.
Public-spirited persons at the landing rushed to Jones’ assistance and took him to the Bartica Public Hospital where he was treated for his injuries and admitted.
Investigations are continuing.
