Sixteen-year-old Shontel Li-A-Ping was yesterday treated at the Georgetown Pubic Hospital for cuts about her hands after she was reportedly attacked by a knife-wielding bandit at the City Mall.
Reports are that the teen was attacked while in the Game City Arcade, which is located on the top floor of the City Mall in Regent Street.
Kaieteur News was told that, at around 9:30 hours, Li-A-Ping was in the store alone when a man walked up to her and demanded that she hand over all her valuables. Reports are that Li-A-Ping was relieved of some $19,000 in cash.
This newspaper understands that, after the man relieved his victim of the cash, he locked her in the store and made good his escape down the steps and out of the building.
Li-A-Ping, this newspaper was told, then broke the glass door of the store and ran out into the corridor, screaming hysterically before fainting. The injured store clerk was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where she was treated and sent away.
When contacted for a comment on the incident, an official from the City Mall confirmed that the store clerk is employed at Game City Arcade. However, a relative of the injured clerk said she was a customer at the City Mall.
The official said that, while it is still not clear as to what really transpired, they noticed the woman in the corridor screaming and indicating that she was cut by broken glass.
He added that checks revealed that nothing was missing from the store, and no one was seen running out of the mall.
Investigations are ongoing, as the matter has since been reported to the police.
