A man who was said to be mentally unstable, went berserk on Friday evening around 19:00h at a supermarket at Foulis, East Coast Demerara, causing at least three men to be injured in the process.
Injured: Reyaaz Khan
One resident of the said area, Reyaaz Khan, 43, was on his way with his wife, Twinkle, to make a purchase at the supermarket when the man dealt the 43-year old a cuff to his face.
The man immediately began bleeding and was taken to the Enmore Police Station where a report was lodged. However, as a result of the injuries Khan sustained, the officers at the Police Station encouraged him to seek medical attention.
The man’s wife told Guyana Times that her husband was taken to the Mahaicony Diagnostic Centre that evening, where they were told that he requires a CT scan.
He was referred to the Georgetown Public Hospital and only received treatment hours later before being sent away. Khan, who suffered a broken cheek bone, is expected to undergo surgery.
The man’s relatives are however calling for swift action to be taken against the aggressor who is a known troublemaker in the area.
According to residents, the man would usually get away with unlawful acts since one of his immediate relatives is affiliated with members of the Guyana Police Force.
Guyana Times was told that it was after much persuasion that the man was arrested and is currently assisting with the investigation.
