Student chopped, stabbed at LBI school by gang

Police are currently investigating the chopping and stabbing of a 16-year-old schoolboy by a gang on Monday afternoon last at LBI (La Bonne Intention) Primary School. The gang members subsequently created more unease when they returned two days later (Wednesday) in search of the Headmistress and another teacher who were investigating the incident.
Kaieteur News understands that the victim and a friend were standing at the school’s gate around 14:30 hrs, when a gang of about six men approached them and started to punch the victim.
The boy, a 10th grader, reportedly then struggled to make his way back into the school’s compound, while his friend with whom he was standing, hurriedly made his way home on foot.
As the lad was almost into the school building, he received a chop from a cutlass to the back of the head. It is alleged that as he staggered to get up, he was also stabbed in the abdomen with an ice-pick.
The wounded teen was left to bleed at the entrance of the lower flat of the school as his attackers escaped upon hearing the sound of footsteps.
