A man was stabbed twice at the Castries market on Wednesday, according to reports.
The unknown male sustained stab wounds to his chest and buttocks around 8-9 a.m. (Mar.2).
A vendor told St. Lucia News Online (SNO) that the victim was in the market to collect cash owed to him, by one of the vendors, and was attacked in the process by a few men.
The vendor claims that the person who owed the man, allegedly set up the men to attack him.
“People in the market are now saying they realize that the guy is a dangerous guy, because he owes the man and instead of paying the man, he asked him to come for his money and set up people to stab him,” the source alleges.
SNO understands that during the stabbing incident, vendors started running away from their stalls to avoid the attackers and in the process of doing so, a female vendor fell and injured her head.
The woman and the stabbed victim were both taken to the hospital for treatment.
Police are investigating this incident.
