A Liverpool, Corentyne man is now a patient at the New Amsterdam Public Hospital after he was allegedly chopped by a neighbour, who accused his wife of filing a noise nuisance report against him.
Injured is Alphonso Williams, also known as ‘Lil Boy,’ 51, of Liverpool Village, Corentyne.
According to the police, Williams’ wife was verbally abused by the suspect, 31, who accused her of being the one who reported him for noise nuisance to the police just around 4 pm on Tuesday.
However, a short while after Williams “went home and enquired from the suspect about the verbal abuse meted out to his wife,” the suspect headed into the street armed with a cutlass.
A heated argument then ensued between the two neighbours “during which the suspect dealt the victim a chop to his left wrist and right hand.”
Williams was taken to the Port Mourant Public Hospital, where he was seen and admitted for some time. However, he was subsequently transferred to the New Amsterdam Public Hospital, where he remained a patient as of yesterday afternoon.
Meanwhile, the suspect was arrested after the incident by ranks from the region’s Anti-Crime Patrol. He was also taken to the Port Mourant Public Hospital to be medically examined since he displayed minor cuts to his left eye and right foot.
