Teen on run after injuring another during argument

A 17-year-old lad has gone into hiding after he reportedly injured another teen during an altercation along Brother’s Dam, Zeelugt, East Bank Essequibo (EBE) on Monday evening.
The Police have said that a 46-year-old driver of Tuschen, EBE reported that he was driving his canter along Brother’s Dam in Zeelugt at about 17:30h on Monday when he saw a crowd gathered.
As such, he stopped the vehicle and exited, and observed a male lying on the roadway in a pool of blood, with injuries to his right-side face and the back of his head.
The injured young man was placed in the tray of his canter and taken to the Leonora Cottage Hospital, where he was treated and transferred to the West Demerara Regional Hospital for further medical attention.
However, based on information received, the Police have said that prior to the discovery, the now injured man and a teenager were involved in a heated argument, which quickly escalated into an altercation, during which a teenager armed himself with an object and dealt several blows to the young man’s head and face. With this information at their disposal, the Police went to the home of the suspect, but he was not located. Investigations are ongoing.
