Chopping suspect at large

He is wanted in connection with the July 30 chopping and wounding of Kareem Ellis and Keane Marcano. The men were patrons at Punishers Bar at Craignish Village, Princes Town when, it is alleged, the suspect became enraged after one of the men was seen talking to a mutual female friend. The suspect, it was reported, left and returned with a cutlass and rained chops on Ellis and Marcano, one of whom had intervened to try and help his friend.

They were taken to the San Fernando General Hospital where they underwent surgery and were discharged from hospital last Thursday.

The victims and their attacker are known to each other. Police said the man has been on the run since the incident and has been changing locations.

On Sunday, police recorded statements from the victims.

The chopping incident was captured on camera and last weekend went viral on social media. Sgt Richardson of the Princes Town Police Station is investigating.
