Police on the Essequibo Coast, up to press time yesterday, were still trying to locate a wanted man who was shot during a chase but still managed to escape.
Reports are that 28-year-old Denzel Stephens, of Bounty Hall, Essequibo Coast, was shot twice by police yesterday after they attempted to arrest him.
The incident occurred some time around 14:30 hours at Westbury.
This newspaper was told that Stephens, called “Dinky”, was wanted by the police for two serious offenses.
These include an assault causing actual bodily harm to Errol Johnson, and a wounding charge involving Orin Dawson.
For the matter involving Errol Johnson, Stephens was taken to court but never appeared.
He was sentenced to six months’ imprisonment, on April 6 last in his absence.
In the other matter an arrest warrant was issued for him.
However the man always managed to evade lawmen on the Essequibo Coast.
It seems as if his luck ran out yesterday when lawmen spotted him at a location in Westbury.
Upon seeing the police, Stephens reportedly attacked the police with a cutlass which he had at the time.
The rank in turn shot at the wanted man.
He was hit in the left arm and leg but managed to make a dash through some nearby bush and elude capture. Up to press time police were still trying to locate the wounded man.
