JOHNNY WELSHMAN was on Sunday afternoon beaten by two men after he joined a taxi on the seawall. 

Information reaching the Guyana Chronicle yesterday stated that the young man, who has been accusing the Speaker of the National Assembly of sexually assaulting him several years ago, was walking along the Kitty Seawall when a vehicle pulled up alongside him and enquired if he needed a taxi.
Contacted yesterday, sources close to the young man, who is widely believed to be out of sorts, confirmed the incident and related that the young man did report his story to the Alberttown Police Station.
According to the information made available to this publication, after the young man was picked up by the taxi, the vehicle drove to a location in Kingstown where the driver stopped to ‘get something’.
Then two men approached the vehicle, one reportedly armed with a gun, and they began beating Welshman. The driver came back and the vehicle moved towards Alberttown, as Welshman continued to be beaten by the men.
Reports say Welshman managed to get out of the moving vehicle and he was assisted by passersby to report the matter at the Alberttown Police Station.
The police are investigating.
