A constable attached to the Brickdam Police Station had to undergo emergency surgery to remove bone fragments from both knees and his lower back at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation after surviving a chopping attack by his neighbour yesterday afternoon.
The wife of the 22-year-old policeman, Audwin Amsterdam, recalled that at approximately 3:00 pm yesterday she and her husband were preparing to run errands when a neighbour caught Amsterdam off guard and began chopping him with a cutlass.
Amsterdam’s wife told Stabroek News that she was still inside their home, located at Lot 30 De Kinderen, West Coast Demerara,
