Kitty man stabbed during argument with suspected thief

Police are investigating a wounding incident that occurred at Rosemary Lane in South Cummingsburg Georgetown, commonly known as ‘Tiger Bay,’ on Monday at around 09:00h, and has left 39-year-old Shawn Maxwell, a self-employed resident of Kitty, Georgetown, with serious injuries.
According to preliminary investigations, Maxwell, who had visited an ‘Ital’ shop at Lots 9-10 Rosemary Lane to purchase food, saw a man known as ‘Sean’ and confronted him over the alleged theft of parts from the trailer he usually parks in the Tiger Bay area. In the ensuing heated argument, the suspect reportedly pulled a flip knife from his waistband and stabbed Maxwell multiple times before fleeing south along Rosemary Lane.
Having sustained stab wounds to the back of his neck and to his right hand, Maxwell was rushed to the St Joseph Mercy Hospital, where he was admitted in serious condition.
Police have since questioned several persons as they continue their investigations.
