REAL NEWS: Two men were wounded in separate incidents, one of which allegedly started out as a robbery.

According to reports, a doctor at the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre notified the Police that a St. Johnstons Village man had arrived at the
Emergency Room (ER) with what appeared to be a fracture to his
head.

The victim claimed it had been inflicted by an unknown
assailant.

As a result of the report, officers from the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) went on duty at the hospital to investigate the
allegation of grievous bodily harm.

The victim told them that, while he was walking from west to east in
the vicinity of Antigua Plumbing and Hardware, he got into an argument with an unknown man.

He alleges that, during the altercation, the man beat him with a stick and he later began to feel dizzy.

He was subsequently transported to the hospital, where doctors ordered a CT scan on his head.

They then observed that the St. Johnstons Village man had sustained a fracture to his frontal lobe.

This offence reportedly occurred in Ottos at about 4:30 p.m. on October 10.

Reportedly, officers conducted a search for the alleged offender, but without success.

Meanwhile, the other wounding incident, which involves a 65-year-old Perry Bay man, is being investigated by the Police.

Reports say the victim complained to officers at the Grays Farm Police Station that he had been attacked by two masked men who
demanded money.

During the incident, one of the perpetrators reportedly chopped him on the left hand with a cutlass.

This offence reportedly occurred at about 11:30 p.m. on October 11, on the Perry Bay Road leading into Grays Farm.

      Baldwin never threatened to ‘TUMP HE IN HE FACE’, – what a role model for the children.

      Isn’t that part of the reason for the violence among the youths as poignantly explained by Shuggy to the PM in parliament?

  2. Most of these heinous incidents could be stymied, if we had the engagement of 7/24 proactive policing, instead of reactionary barracks cops. Give the police the tools and pay incentives, and let them do the job they were hired to do. Good Governance must include good citizen-security, for all citizens and guest. But with the over saturation of none nationals vieing to effect imported influence and norms: the genies are now none contained, and are having a negative impact on society at large: unlike anything Antigua have ever known, or witness, as I can remember. A moratorium of foreign interlopers is to be considered, such as to get a handle, and avoid the looming anarchy and bedlam of the infectious pervasive criminal elements that has been allowed to be visited and, fester opon us: much so, before its too little – too late.

  4. You invading my space and if you stick around after the ‘tump in you mout’, then it’s cutlass time. Remember election is happening now.
