1 stabbed to chest, another to arm during brawl

Two men were treated at the New Amsterdam Hospital after they reportedly injured each other during an altercation on Sunday evening at Heathburn Village, East Bank Berbice (EBB).
One of the injured men is Martin Chesney, 46, a cane harvester of Heathburn Village, EBB, while the identity of the other was not released by the Police who nevertheless stated that he was listed as the “suspect” who is under guard at the New Amsterdam Hospital.
Based on reports received, the suspect and Chesney were involved in a heated argument on Sunday and as such, the Police were alerted. Soon after, Chesney was found lying on the ground with a wound to his lower left arm but the alleged suspect was nowhere in sight.
However, Chesney was then taken to the New Amsterdam Public Hospital where he was treated and admitted a patient. Police stated that based on information received, checks were made for the alleged suspect and he was located at the said medical facility nursing a wound to his left side chest.
Upon questioning, he reportedly told the Police that he and his wife had an argument when Chesney intervened and attacked him with an unknown weapon. He related that during the attack, he sustained the injury. He too remains a patient at the medical facility.
