AN intelligence rank attached to the Criminal Investigation Department of the Guyana Police Force, was on Saturday morning stabbed and disarmed of a service weapon by a known character while performing duties at the Aces Night Club in Alberttown.
According to what was communicated to the Guyana Chronicle, the assailant is known to the policeman who is now hospitalised.

We were informed that there were instances in the past where the very rank arrested the man for offences and after spotting the cop at the club on Saturday morning, the man advanced and attacked the member of the Force.

He however, was not aware that the rank was there with colleagues who were all in plain clothes and after a scuffle ensued between him and the rank he allegedly stabbed the officer, disarmed him and then fled the scene.

A police familiar with the investigation told this publication that the weapon, which the cop had in his possession at the time, was a 9mm pistol with matching rounds. Up to press time, there was no confirmation of the number of rounds which were taken along with the weapon.

One man has since been arrested and he is said to be assisting the police with their investigation.
