The police in a statement today said that the attack was carried out by an identifiable male in a red hoodie and brown ¾ pants who was armed with a handgun.
Enquiries revealed that the victim was seated on a chair at the corner of America Street and Avenue of the Republic where he plies his trade when the armed perpetrator approached him from a northern direction with the weapon drawn and demanded that he hand over his money.
