1 in custody after attacking Chinese nationals

One suspect is in custody and the hunt is on for three others after they were caught on camera attacking two Chinese nationals in broad daylight on Sunday.
The incident, which occurred sometime around 10:00h on North Road, Bourda, Georgetown, was captured on the dash-cam of a vehicle that was parked nearby. The footage circulated on social media shows at least two male Chinese on North Road next to their vehicle.
The captured footage shows one of the victims being attacked by two perpetrators while a third, armed with a cutlass, grabbed the other victim from the other side of the vehicle and brought him to where the others were.
The Chinese men put up a resistance and one of them eventually broke free of capture and ran westwards up North Road. He was followed by one of the attackers.
The other three perpetrators were seen walking away from the area, crossing over a nearby bridge connecting to Merriman’s Mall to make good their escape.
Efforts to contact the police to ascertain whether the perpetrators managed to take anything from the victims during the attack that lasted less than a minute, were futile.
However, it was reported that a member of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) saw the footage on social media and recognised the four suspects. He reportedly alerted ranks at the Alberttown Police Station, who managed to apprehend one of the suspects.
He is in custody assisting with investigations.
