Moments after an East Coast Demerara resident was wounded and robbed of his cell phone at the Berbice Car Park, the two alleged robbers were pursued and apprehended by public-spirited individuals and promptly handed over to the police by personnel of a private security service who arrived on the scene. The incident occurred about 22:45hrs yesterday.
The 32-year-old victim of Enmore, who had to receive medical attention for a stab wound to his face, inflicted with an ice pick, was treated at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation and sent away; his property was not recovered.
The suspects of Middle Road, La Penitence and Hadfield Street, Werk-en-Rust are also being questioned in relation to several recent robberies.
