– Says attackers looked like “decent people”
A gold miner miraculously escaped death early yesterday after he was attacked and stabbed by three men at a Brazilian bar on Light Street, Georgetown.
The assailants stripped 34-year-old Troy McAllister of his boots, hat and $50,000 before stabbing him in his abdomen.
McAllister of ‘B’ Field, Sophia, is hospitalized in the Male Surgical Ward at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation.
Yesterday, in his hospital bed, the man said that he went to the bar with one of his employers, who had recently come from the interior.
“Me and he went to drink and I was telling him that I want to go back to the bush and he give me $50,000 to buy the things that I would need and to pay passage,” the injured man claimed.
He added that his friend left the bar with his girlfriend and he (McAllister) stayed. “I still stay there and I was drinking and then these three boys come up demanding me to give them my money.”
According to McAllister, the men punched him and forced him to take off his boots and collected the $50,000. He added that the men were present at the bar when he and his friend arrived.
“They see when my friend gave me the money. They didn’t look like bandit, they look like decent people taking a drink,” the gold miner recounted.
He was rushed to the GPHC by patrons at the bar.
