Pressman attacked, beaten outside home

A pressman was on Friday night attacked in front of his Princes Street, Georgetown home as he was leaving for work.
Dishon Manniram, 33, of Princes Street, Georgetown, told Guyana Times that the incident occurred at about 22:00h.

According to Manniram, he had just exited his yard when a group of men surrounded him and began beating him. He said that he attempted to defend himself but was overpowered.
“They jump me and start cuffing me in my face, they burst my head and sprain my hand… when they come to me, they didn’t say anything, nobody said nothing to me, they just jump me,” Manniram recalled.
He said the men were wearing masks.
“I can’t remember everything but I remember one of them had on Nike sneakers and short pants. When they jump me, I fall on the ground,” Manniram explained.
He said that he was baffled as to the reason for the attack since the men did not take any of his valuables. He pointed out that he has no issues with anyone.

“I don’t have any issues with anybody. I can’t say if it was robbery or a deliberate attack on me,” the pressman said. After beating Manniram, the men ran away and he then raised an alarm. The man is now fearful for his life.
