A 60-year-old farmer has been slashed with cutlass multiple times in the head by unknown assailants at 44 a suburb community in Suhum Municipality of the Eastern Region.
The victim Lawrence Obuobi Nyanteh suffered multiple deep cuts in the head by his attackers who also absconded with few monies in his pocket.
The victim who was bleeding profusely was rushed to Suhum Government Hospital by a Taxi that fortunately appeared at the scene.
“I don’t have a problem with anyone. I was going to farm a few minutes to 6:00am last Sunday then suddenly I was attacked and fell. They took away my mobile phone, my shirt, money. I was bleeding but suddenly a taxi appeared which I stopped and rushed me to the hospital. I can’t tell those who did that but on my way, I saw some two young guys who were jogging I don’t know if they did that.”
However, a Friend to the Victim, Kwame Gyasi Ayisi, alleges that the victim was prematurely discharged by health workers at the facility given that he was still unstable and not recuperated.
Suhum Police has commenced investigations into the incident.
