Police Investigate Four woundings were reported to the police on Monday, including two which involved students. In the first, an Ottos man reported that a fellow villager stabbed him in the right shoulder with an ice pick after they had an argument at about 9 am on All Saints Road.

Next, at around 9:30 am, an ABICE student was taken to the Mt St John's Medical Center with head and facial injuries after an unknown attacker struck him with a piece of wood.



Mid-afternoon, at around 3:30 pm, a 15-year-old student of the Green Bay Primary School was picked up by the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) after he was reportedly stabbed about the body.


It was reported that the teen was standing outside the school when an argument ensued between him and the alleged offender. This resulted in him being stabbed in the neck, back, head, and chest.

Doctors were unable to say how serious the injuries were, but he was reported to be in stable condition. A suspect is in custody assisting with investigations.



An Ottos resident was the final victim, at around 8:05 pm. He reported that he was wounded across the forehead with a piece of iron by some unknown person with dreadlocks, while on lower All Saints Road near Ginger’s Fast Food.

Antigua has become the wild wild west where one can be attack at anytime, anywhere day or night and the culprits just walk away.It now unsafe to drive to any neighbourhood and park your car on the side of street over night. I still believe we need to give our police more vehicles let them drive up and down day and night we should be able to see a police vehicle at every corner in Antigua and stop thinking about what they doing.
If i was a government this would be first priority give the police vehicle so they can be more visible if not cars, may be motor bikes or regular bikes especially in St, Johns and definitely a fire station in the southern part of the country cause there is no way a fire truck can leave St, Johns and save a building any where in the south imposible! The police are trying but if they get the equipments the results will be greater.
