A 33-year-old taxi driver sustained a gunshot wound to his right leg during an execution attempt on Mandela Avenue, Alexander Village last night.
According to reports, around 7.30 last evening Regan Rodrigues was sitting in his car outside the GR Taxi service base near Cross Street, Alexander Village when several men in another car drove by and shot him. He was picked up by public-spirited citizens and rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) for treatment for the wound which he sustained above his right knee.
Last evening, shortly after 10 pm the man walked out of the GPH compound complaining loudly over the treatment he had received. He said he was taken to the hospital by the police with “this AK bullet in meh foot and up to now, two hours after I can’t get treatment!”
The man’s grandmother tried to keep him calm but he continued to decry the treatment stating that the doctor saw him once and staff later bandaged his foot.
After he was told to be quiet by several police officers, the man and his grandmother left the area for a private medical institution.
