Police are investigating an alleged wounding incident that occurred early Sunday morning at Best Village, West Coast Demerara (WCD), leaving a Venezuelan man nursing a serious injury to his thigh. The injured man has been identified as Geraldy Angel, a Venezuelan national who was reportedly attacked by another man of Venezuelan nationality around 00:30h while at a bar in the area.
According to reports, Alianda Martin, a 20-year-old Venezuelan woman from Vreed-en-Hoop, told investigators that she, her husband Osmel Figuera, and several family members were drinking at the establishment when an argument erupted between her and her husband. The dispute quickly escalated, and several other male Venezuelans at the bar became involved in a brawl.
During the altercation, one of the men reportedly armed himself with a cutlass and dealt Angel a chop to his left thigh, causing a deep wound. The injured man was rushed to the West Demerara Regional Hospital (WDRH) where he was treated by medical staff and admitted as a patient. His condition has since been listed as stable. Police said several individuals at the scene were questioned; however, no useful information was obtained due to the language barrier. Efforts were made to locate the suspect, but he has not yet been found.
Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
