The horse cart operator who was shot and robbed by armed bandits on Monday is in a critical condition at the Georgetown PublicHospital’s Intensive Care Unit.
The man, Isaac King, 39, of 77 D’Urban Street, was shot in the neck by bandits who robbed him of a gold chain and two gold rings. The incident took place at Cul-de-sac Street, North Ruimveldt.
Yesterday when this newspaper visited the man, no relatives were present at the hospital. Hospital officials said that the man is at present hooked up to a life support machine and breathing machine. He is also receiving intravenous drips and oxygen.
Kaieteur News understands that a police detective visited the man to check on his condition. A police source said that they are following up some leads, which may lead to arrests.
The man’s friend, Pawlos Daniels, who took him to the hospital, had said that King was in the area to collect something from a resident.
Daniels explained that a resident had contacted King, since he was horse cart operator, to uplift a computer desk.
The man said that King went to the house earlier but the resident said that he was not finished with the item so he should return anytime after lunch.
Daniels said that he was told by King that he, King, returned to the house and he was standing outside when two men in a white car pulled up and exited.
The men demanded that King hand over a gold chain and two gold rings. King fought back with the two bandits and during that scuffle he was shot.
The injured man managed to walk to his friend’s house, approximately eight doors away.
The friend quickly summoned a taxi, was taken to the hospital and immediately rushed to the operating theatre.
