Man In Hospital After Abduction, Chopping
Wow, I can imagine how afraid this man was after this horrible ordeal.
QUOTE A man who came out of his car in Port of Spain to buy a phone card was abducted by two men and taken to a house, where he was chopped to make him hand over money he did not have.
Joel Bahadur, 30, was being treated last night at the Mt Hope Hospital.
He told police that around 10.30 p.m. On Thursday, he stopped his car on Picadally Street, Port of Spain, and walked to a vendor to make his purchase.
Two men approached him and pushed him into the back seat and placed a knife at his throat.
The car was commandeered while he was tied up and blindfolded.
Bahadur, of Manahambre Road, Princes Town, said he was taken to a house and asked for money. He said during the assault, he escaped the men and ran into the road.
It turned out to be an area in Curepe.
A female Curepe resident, who requested anonymity, said around 10 a.m yesterday, the frightened man ran into her yard as she was walking out of her Alice Street home. He was covered in blood and his hands were tied behind his back. She said only his eyes were visible as blood covered his entire face.
The woman's house is located in a track off of Alice Street, Curepe, near to a big drain.
The woman said Bahadur pleaded with her for help, but he did so in a very soft voice for fear of alerting his kidnappers. The startled woman said while she hesitated, the man continued running in search of freedom....
