A man is now critical at the Georgetown Public Hospital after he was beaten by another man with a cricket bat.
Ramesh Manbodh, 40, of Vreed-en-Hoop, was reportedly at home when he was attacked by another man. “He went and collect he wife from the stelling and he de see the man talking to he niece so he told he not to talk to her and collect she and carry she away,” one of the man’s relatives explained to Stabroek News last night.
After Manbodh returned home, the other man followed him and confronted him.
“I just hear they cussing on another bridge away from the house and when I turn around I see the boy coming with a bat in he hand and I get up and try to run but before I coulda reach he already lash he [Manbodh] in he head,” the relative explained, stating that after he was hit to his head, he immediately fell to the ground and the man continued beating him about his body with the bat.
“By the time I reach there the man run away and so I grab he [Manbodh] and he de just bleeding on the ground from he ears and everywhere and I start holla but nobody ain’t coming so I run and call for he sisters and they bring water and I start sapping he head,” the relative explained, stating that subsequently several neighbours came and offered their assistance.
They were able to call a taxi and he was rushed to the West Demerara Regional Hospital before being transferred to GPHC.
His assailant is yet to be apprehended by the police.
