One miner is suffering a fractured skull while another is nursing injuries to his head following a brawl at 28 Miles UNAMICO Backdam, Upper Berbice River, Region 10 (Upper Demerara-Berbice) on Wednesday.
The injured men are 41-year-old Troy Castillo of Tuschen, East Bank Essequibo (EBE) and 21-year-old Kelvin Roberts of Mahaica, East Coast Demerara (ECD)
The Police have said that one day prior to the brawl, the two men were at a birthday party when an argument broke out between them, after it was alleged by Castillo that Roberts had thrown something into his drink.
However, on Wednesday, at about 5:30h, Castillo was brushing his teeth when Roberts attacked him with a piece of wood, dealing him one blow to the head. Although injured, Castillo managed to take away the wood from Roberts and dealt him one blow to his head in retaliation.
The brawl between the two men came to a halt after their colleagues intervened. The injured men were taken to the Kwakwani Hospital, where Castillo was admitted a patient and is in a stable condition, while Roberts, who suffered a fractured skull, has been referred to the Linden Hospital Complex where he has been admitted. His condition is listed as stable.
The matter was reported to the Police, and an investigation is underway.
