Kitty man stabbed during row over sand dumped in front of property

A 55-year-old man of Dowding Street, Kitty, Georgetown, is now nursing a stab wound to his abdomen, which he sustained on Wednesday during an altercation with another man over the dumping of a load of sand in front of his property. Preliminary investigations revealed that the victim and the suspect have an ongoing dispute regarding building materials being left at the victim’s gate.
It is alleged that on the date in question, the now-injured man was exiting his yard when he observed a load of sand dumped in front of his property. As such, he approached the suspect and asked him to remove the sand, but the suspect refused, resulting in a heated argument that escalated into a physical altercation.
The Police stated that the suspect left the scene, returned with a sharp object, and stabbed the victim once in the abdomen before escaping. The injured man reportedly rode to the Georgetown Public Hospital Accident and Emergency Unit, where he was examined and admitted as a patient in critical but stable condition. The Police have since retrieved CCTV footage and are now hunting for the suspect.
