charged with assault causing grievous bodily harm and robbery, according
to the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service.
The man, 40, was
due to appear in court Tuesday.
Police said it was around
7.10pm last Thursday when a 30-year-old man was assaulted near the Ed
Bush playing field by two men and his white rental Hyundai Atos taken.
The man was stabbed in the chest and shoulder and also struck in the
face with what police said appeared to be a firearm.
The victim
ran from his attackers and was subsequently shot at, police said. He
was not hit by the gunfire.
The 30-year-old – who police
initially said was a resident and was later said to be a long-term
visitor to the Islands – was later taken to the hospital where his
injuries were found to be not life-threatening, police said.
A
quick search of the surrounding area located the stolen Hyundai and led
to the arrest of a 40-year-old man on suspicion of robbery. The second
attacker was not immediately found.
