This matter was reported to the Police by a 911 operator, who informed officers that there had been a wounding on Federation Road in the vicinity of Shark a Come.

Reports say that an 18-year-old Parliament Street resident was walking towards a shop when he was rushed by a 17-year-old youth from Federation Road who was riding a bicycle.

They became embroiled in an argument during which the alleged offender left the scene and returned with a black-handled cutlass and a friend.

Allegedly the dispute continued, and the 17-year-old fired two chops at the older teen.

However, in an attempt to deflect the weapon from his head, the 18- year-old put up his left hand; and, in the process, the alleged offender almost chopped it off.

He also sustained a second laceration to the hand, which was not as serious.

The victim reportedly was driven to the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre by an unknown person.

According to reports, hospital doctors stated that, given where the wound was inflicted – just above the victim’s left wrist – the hand had been 80 percent amputated by the sharp metal weapon.

Doctors had to conduct an X-ray of the hand before surgery was performed.

Fortunately, the victim was in a stable condition by that time.

Reports say the mother of the 17-year-old alleged offender later handed him over to the Police.

He was taken into custody at the St. John’s Police Station. This offence reportedly occurred one evening last week.
