A 15-year-old boy was stabbed to the right arm on Sunday night following an argument between his older brother and two men over a vehicular jam-up at Robb and Albert streets.

Lawrence Inglanton was rushed to a city hospital after one of two men, reportedly under the influence of alcohol, stabbed him to the arm with the jagged end of a smashed Guinness bottle. The wound he sustained needed stitches.

Inglanton’s older brother Wayne, the driver of the motor car they were in, told Stabroek News that he was driving along Robb Street (approaching Albert Street) on Sunday night when the minibus transporting the two men jammed the back of his vehicle.

“They just hit me and drove away,” Wayne recalled. “So I went behind them on Regent Street and they drove away and I followed them back to the scene at Robb and Albert streets.”

When he approached the men about his damaged car, Wayne related, they started to verbally abuse him and one “shoved” him and he retaliated in kind.

The argument continued for another minute, he said, and then the other man who was holding a Guinness bottle smashed it into his windscreen.

The impact, Wayne said, badly cracked the glass and the bottle was shattered. It was this broken bottle the man used to attack Lawrence.

“My girlfriend and another cousin were also there with me and imagine after this the man attempted to attack them as well,” Wayne said.

The matter has since been reported to the Brickdam Police Station. However, this newspaper understands that the men have since left the city for Lethem.

Meanwhile, the younger Inglanton is still upset by the incident, Wayne said.
