Motorcycle gunmen attack, shoot Cummings Lodge man

24-year-old Steven Surujbally, a resident of Cummings Lodge, East Coast Demerara, is nursing a gunshot wound he sustained after being attacked by two men on a motorcycle. This incident occurred at about 20:30h on Wednesday at 3rd Street Cummings Lodge, East Coast Demerara, and reports are that one of the two suspects was armed with a handgun.
Information provided by the Guyana Police Force has so far revealed that Surujbally was walking in a southerly direction en route to his Cummings Lodge home when the suspects approached him on a motorcycle from a northern direction. While they were some distance away, they stopped, dismounted the motorcycle, and walked up to him.
Surujbally said he suspected the men wanted to harm or do him something, the Police report detailed. As a result, Surujbally had a scuffle with the men, during which the pillion rider pulled out a handgun from the left side waist of his pants and discharged a round. The bullet hit Surujbally on his chest and exited his right side back. The suspects then jumped on the motorcycle and escaped by riding away in a southerly direction.
Surujbally was escorted to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he is presently being treated.
Several persons have been questioned during the ongoing investigation. (G12)
