A taxi driver is counting his lucky stars for surviving a knife attack, but the four men who hired him and later injured him in the neck with a knife, dumped him out of his car before driving away with it.
Gordon Munroe sustained a knife wound to his neck and was treated and sent away from the Georgetown Public Hospital.
Munroe told the police that he was hired by the men from outside the KFC fast food outlet on Vlissingen Road and was told to take them to Cummings Lodge, East Coast Demerara.
However, when he arrived in the area one of the men in the back seat held him and stabbed him in the nape with a knife. The man said that as he was being stabbed, one of his assailant’s accomplices told him to kill him. However, he was later dumped out of the car and the men sped away in the vehicle.
The car, a silver 212, HB 6003 is yet to be located.
