Chaguanas man shot in PoS while waiting for taxi

A Chaguanas man is being treated for a gunshot wound he suffered while waiting for a taxi at the corner of Nelson and Prince Streets, Port of Spain, last night.

Police said the 26-year-old man was waiting at around 10.10 pm when he heard several gunshots. He turned around and saw two men believed to be the shooters standing further down Nelson Street.

He then felt a burning in his right shoulder and realised he was bleeding. Passers-by took him to the Port of Spain General Hospital, where he was being treated up until last night.

Besson Street CID are investigating.
