The suspect, who was armed with a cutlass, dealt the man a few chops about his body.
As a result, the man received a gaping wound to his face and his left middle finger. With the assistance of public-spirited persons, the victim was transported to the Bartica Regional Hospital where he was later referred to the Georgetown Public Hospital for further treatment.
