Michael Henry, a three-year veteran of the police force, was off duty when he was attacked.
Three males, believed to be from the Grass Street area, have been arrested in connection with the stabbing of an off-duty police officer in Castries this week.
According to a police release, on Tuesday, November 10, 2015, at about 3:45 p.m., Police Constable 856, Michael Henry of Pavee, Castries sustained a stab wound to the left shoulder by two men.
Police said the assailants attempted to grab his gold chain at the intersection of Coral and High-Street, Castries.
Henry was transported to the Victoria Hospital where he was treated and discharged.
Eyewitnesses say Henry was attacked by a gang of about six knife-wielding young men shortly after getting off a Pavee bus.
Henry, 22, was reportedly able to find a piece of wood to defend himself, knocking one of the attackers, who was later apprehended by police, and subsequently two others.
