Granny attacks, injures GPL worker, Police

A member of the Guyana Power and Light disconnection crew and a Police rank were on Thursday injured by a 64-year-old woman of Sophia, Greater Georgetown.
Based on reports received, the injured disconnection crew member and others had gone to the Lot 128 Sophia home to disconnect the electricity when they were confronted by an elderly woman brandishing a kitchen knife.
Summoned, the Police arrived at the scene and attempted to arrest the elderly woman who was armed with the kitchen knife, but the elder stabbed the GPL worker to his jaw and slashed a Police rank to her hand.
She was eventually subdued, but the Police later learnt that she suffers from a mental disorder, and as such, she was released on station bail. Advice is being sought from the Director of Public Prosecutions on the way forward.
The injured GPL worker and the Police rank were taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital where they were treated. The Police rank was sent away while the GPL worker was admitted for observation on Thursday. He, however, was discharged on Friday.
