A man is now in police custody after he opened gunfire on several persons at 6th Street Windsor Forest, West Coast Demerara, three nights ago.
A 27-year-old man, who resides in the area, told police that he and five co-workers were having drinks at the Windsor Forest Public Road, West Coast Demerara when he got into a misunderstanding with the man, who armed himself with a cutlass and dealt him a lash (broadside) across his chest.
The victim claimed that as he was about to retaliate, another male who was with the suspect, pulled a black handgun from his left side waist and pointed same at him which caused him to run for cover behind a canter truck.
The two perpetrators then left, but shortly afterwards as the victim’s relatives came to assist him, the perpetrators returned and opened fire in their direction which caused them to run into a nearby yard.
Police, acting on information received, made contact with one of the suspects who was arrested and placed in custody at the Den Amstel Police Station.
Investigations are in progress.
