Stephen McLeod, 29, a grill man employed at Polo Tropical, is now in a critical condition at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPHC) after he was attacked and stabbed about his body by a drunken man on Sunday at about 15:30hrs.
McLeod was reportedly standing in front of a popular bar on Lamaha Street, Georgetown when he was approached by an unknown man who was reportedly under the influence of alcohol. The man began to verbally abuse McLeod, and a scuffle reportedly ensued, during which the man pulled out a knife and dealt McLeod three stabs to his body — to his right shoulder, the right side of his upper back, and to the left side of his chest.
McLeod fell to the ground, and was quickly picked up and rushed by public-spirited persons to the GPHC’s Emergency Unit, where he remains a patient.
The attacker fled the scene, but is being sought by Police. The knife which he used to commit the act was found at the scene.
Investigations are ongoing.
