Shilendra Sookhai, 21, was chopped in the face during a dispute at Kwakwani Park, upper Berbice last Thursday.
Sookhai told Kaieteur News yesterday that he was wounded after “peacefully” defending a friend.
The injured man alleged that he and some friends were hanging out at “the Park View” at around 02:00 hrs when a man stormed into the place threatening to kill Sookhai’s friend, claiming that the man had interfered with him.
Sookhai explained that all he said to the man was that it could not have been his friend “Akeem”, since they were both together at the same place for hours.
The man added that less than a second later, he was chopped to the right side of the face. After undergoing emergency surgery, Sookhai was left with a deep scar running from his left ear to his left eye.
It is still unclear at this point whether his vision was affected.
The assailant and another man were reportedly taken into police custody, pending charges.
Meanwhile, relatives of Sookhai told Kaieteur News that the attacker’s family has made attempts at a financial settlement, since the attacker has a similar matter in the courts.
