Neighbour chops neighbour

POINT FORTIN police are searching for a teenager who chopped his neighbour for beating his brother on Friday evening.

Police say the 17-year-old boy from Boodoo Street, Point Fortin got into an argument with his neighbour Marvin Richards, 25, around 6 pm.

When the argument became very heated, the boy’s 30-year-old brother intervened and tried to calm the situation. But police said one man beat another with a piece of wood. The teen ran to his home and returned with a cutlass which he used to chop Richards on the head, back, chest, side and elbow.

Richards was taken to the San Fernando General Hospital where he remains warded in serious condition. Police said the teen ran off after chopping Richards and is still at large. WPC Williams of the Point Fortin police is continuing investigations
