A MAN who presumably had robbery as his motive chopped a Chinese national in his head yesterday afternoon in the vicinity of Lucky Dollar, at Avenue of the Republic and Robb Streets in Georgetown.Police summoned arrived quickly on the scene, and requested the driver of a motor car to help by taking the injured Chinese national to the Accident and Emergency Unit of the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH).

The injured man arrived at that medical institution at 18:01 hrs, by which time a team of other Chinese nationals who had heard of the incident swooped down at the hospital and initiated a transfer of their colleague to the Balwant Singh Hospital, where he has been admitted in critical condition.
