A 33-year-old carpenter of Reliance, Essequibo Coast, Region Two was wounded on Wednesday during a scuffle with a friend, who’d bitten his mother during a drink spree on Independence Day. The berserk 23-year-old biter has since been captured and placed in police custody.
According to information received, the carpenter and the suspect were drinking when the latter suddenly got up and shortly after, the carpenter’s mother began to scream.
The carpenter quickly responded to his mother’s cries for help, and she told him that she was bitten by his friend, who was drinking with him.
The carpenter, angered by what was told to him, confronted his drinking partner, who, on seeing what was coming his way, armed himself with a bottle of poison to defend himself.
During the fright, the carpenter was wounded. He was taken to the Suddie Public Hospital, where he was seen and sent away. The suspect was captured before he tried to escape and is in police custody.
