car,\u00a0retrieved a cutlass, which he used to wound his fellow villager to the head, before fleeing from the scene with the weapon.<\/p>\n<p>The Jennings man had to be rushed to the hospital by the Emergency Medical Service (EMS), where doctors reported that he\u00a0has a fractured skull with bone\u00a0fragments embedded which requires surgery.<\/p>\n<p>Officers reportedly informed the perpetrator of the report made against him and he was arrested and taken into police custody to Bolans Police Station.<\/p>\n<p>In another incident, a\u00a0Bathlodge\u00a0woman was wounded about 10pm
