Home News Dispute over female ends in cutlass attack
A man is currently hospitalised after reportedly being brutally chopped in Frenchman Backdam, Region 10 (Upper Demerara-Berbice) on Friday morning.
Injured is 36-year-old shopkeeper Randy Tello, who suffered severe injuries to his face and other parts of his body.
Reports are that two men, armed with cutlasses, allegedly attacked Tello as he was preparing to leave his shop.
According to reports, the attack reportedly stemmed from a misunderstanding between Tello and the perpetrators about a woman. The assailants purportedly accused Tello of dancing with a 19-year-old woman, leading to their anger and subsequent assault.
Immediately following the incident, Tello was rushed to Mackenzie Hospital for urgent medical attention. However, due to the severity of his injuries, he was transferred to Georgetown Public Hospital for further treatment.
Meanwhile, the Police have since apprehended the two attackers.
