THIRTY-SIX-YEAR-OLD Sean Jackman of Old Road, Eccles, EBD left his home on Saturday evening to attend a fair in the city, but reportedly ended up being battered and left lying at the roadside in Charlotte Street, Lacytown.

An agitated Lynette Bacchus said that at around 06:30hrs on Sunday, she received word from a friend that her son was lying unconscious on the roadway somewhere in Charlotte Street. She raced to where she had been directed, and found her son in an unconscious state, with marks of violence about his body.
His battered head was covered with what appeared to be whitewash, suggesting that it had been repeatedly banged against a white-washed or emulsion-painted wall; his mouth was open and bleeding, revealing evidence of battery; and his knees had abrasions.

Bacchus rushed her injured son by car to the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPHC) where he was treated and revived. Thereafter, he kept slipping in and out of consciousness.

He has complained of having severe pains in the head, back and abdomen, and has been taken to the X-Ray Department to have scans done.
