Home News US-based Guyanese injured during brawl with man who teased him
A 47-year-old US-based Guyanese was injured on Monday evening during a brawl with a man who teased him about his assets.
Injured is Charles Crawford called “Charlo” of Kwakwani Park, Upper Berbice River, and of Birmingham, Alabama, USA.
Based on reports received, Crawford arrived in Guyana on December 26, 2021, and was staying at his mother-in-law’s residence at Kwakwani Park, Region 10.
On the evening of December 27, 2021, Crawford was consuming alcohol with a group of men at a campsite in the area.
Police related that during the outing, the suspect started to make “embarrassing remarks” about the victim’s wealth, saying “he get nuff money and a lot of assets”.
In response, the victim told the suspect that he is not concerned, and as such, the suspect picked up two glass bottles, broke them and was walking in the direction of the victim, who walked away from the scene.
The suspect followed the victim but in defending himself, he threw two bottles towards the suspect.
This led to a heated argument and ultimately a scuffle between the two men. At the time, the suspect was still armed with two glass bottles. Persons in the area intervened and parted them but it was later observed that the victim was bleeding from the neck.
He was then assisted and taken to the Kwakwani Hospital where he was admitted. Checks were made for the suspect but he was not found. Investigations are in progress.
