A pensioner of El Dorado, West Coast Berbice was badly beaten on Monday afternoon with a broom by a teenager who had snatched his walking stick and thrown it away.
Lloyd Hoosein, 65 said he reported the matter to the police at the Fort Wellington Station and was referred to the Fort Wellington Hospital to obtain a medical report.
He said the teen first started pelting him through his window with gooseberries as he was preparing to cook in his kitchen. Eventually he closed the windows. But later, as he was coming down the stairs the teen started to attack him.
He said he had a problem with a female relative of the teen who had beaten him up some time last year. That matter is engaging the court.
According to him, the woman was sharing his home and he had asked her to leave. Instead, she started to occupy his bottom flat without his permission.
The problem started again after he insisted that he wanted her to vacate his premises.
