Authorities in Siparia have launched a criminal investigation into a violent bar altercation that resulted in a 41-year-old man sustaining multiple stab wounds during the evening of December 27th.
According to official police reports, medical personnel at the Siparia District Health Facility alerted local law enforcement approximately at 8:30 PM after the severely injured victim was admitted with penetrating wounds to his cranial region, lower back, upper extremities, and thoracic area. Medical assessment revealed the patient had developed a pneumothorax (collapsed lung) due to the severity of his injuries, necessitating an imminent transfer to Point Fortin Hospital for specialized trauma care.
The investigation faced initial hurdles as detectives were unable to interview the stabbing victim directly, as he remained under heavy sedation to manage trauma and pain. Subsequently, the victim’s brother arrived at the Siparia Police Station providing crucial background information. He disclosed that his sibling had returned to their Queen Street residence around 5:00 AM after socializing at a drinking establishment along Coora Road, already exhibiting the stab injuries. The brother explained that he delayed seeking medical attention until approximately 7:00 PM when the victim began experiencing intensified pain, at which point he transported him to the healthcare facility.
Law enforcement officials are continuing their active investigation into the circumstances surrounding the violent incident, attempting to reconstruct the events that transpired at the Coora Road bar and identify potential suspects involved in the assault.
