An Anna Catherina man and his son were severely beaten on Thursday night after a row with two men who were throwing firecrackers in front of their gap.
As a result of the attack, the Guyana Police Force said Michael Anthony, known as ‘Rakash,’ 46, had to get medical treatment, while son, 16, was admitted at the West Demerara Regional Hospital for surgery.
In a press release, the police said Anthony was at the front of his yard when he noticed the two men throwing fire crackers in front of his gap. It was reported that he approached them and told them to desist, which eventually led to an exchange of words and a physical altercation.
