Shop owner stabbed with broken bottle, beaten by allegedly intoxicated customers

A Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne) businessman was stabbed multiple times by customers who became annoyed that he was closing his shop.
Injured is Haslim Mohamed 40, who resides and operates a grocery shop and Super Bet outlet at Number 77 Village Housing Scheme, Corriverton.
According to Mohamed, he had come home shortly after 20:00h, and he informed the three customers that he was going to close the shop. He told this publication that the Super Bet facility would normally close at 21:00h, but on Tuesday evening he was seeking to close a bit early, but it did not go down well with the three customers, whose names he gave as “Muggie”, “Mun”, and “Black Boy”.
“They armed themselves with a broken beer bottle, a piece of wood and a cutlass. They started to argue with me, and when I turn, one of them start to stab me…”
Mohamed said he was lashed with the wood, and also kicked after falling to the ground.

Mohamed was stabbed six times to his hand as he tried to fend off attacks that were targeting his face. However, he was still stabbed nine times to his neck and head.
Police are said to be looking for the three suspects.
According to the businessman, the three suspects visit his establishment on a daily basis, and on many occasions would stay until he is closing.
Police have said the suspects were drunk, but the businessman has said the customers were only playing Superbet.
Police have since launched a manhunt for the suspects. (G4)
