At about 0330h yesterday vendor Wajid Ishmael, 67, of Grove Squatting Area, EBD, was aroused by noise in his home and upon checking was confronted by two men, one of whom was armed with a handgun.
A police release said that Ishmael held on to the armed man and a scuffle ensued during which Ishmael managed to break free and run into the yard where he was shot to his right thigh. The perpetrators then took away a cell phone and fled.
Ishmael was treated at the GPHC and sent away, the release said.
