Twenty-seven-year-old Shameer Ally, a labourer of Canefield, East Canje, Berbice, was on Saturday evening chopped about his body during a night out with friends.
Based on reports received, on the day in question at about 20:00h, Ally along with his friends were drinking at a bar in Canefield, Canje, when the suspect, who was armed with a cutlass, walked up to him and began chopping him about his body.
The motive for the chopping incident is unknown but Guyana Times understands that the two men are known to each other.
As a result, the victim received several wounds to both of his hands. Following the ordeal, the suspect then made good his escape.
Ally was later picked up and taken to the New Amsterdam Public Hospital where he was seen and examined by a doctor and was subsequently admitted a patient.
His condition is listed as stable. Checks were made for the suspect but he was not found. Investigations are ongoing.
