Thereafter one of the four men approached him and dealt him a stab to his right shoulder and cut him on the right hand while another rushed towards him with a cutlass and dealt him a chop to the back of his neck. Another then took the same cutlass and dealt him another chop to his right hand.
He managed to run away and stood on the road in front of the bar. While there, he saw the four men beating his colleague for about two minutes before escaping.
Motie’s sister took him to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he was admitted.
