A woman washes away blood stains from a sidewalk on Coral Street, Castries following a stabbing incident around 1 p.m.
A man known as “Valence” has been admitted to Victoria Hospital in serious condition following a stabbing incident around 1 p.m. today on Coral Street, Castries.
Reports are that the man was stabbed by a young female (about 15 years old) who hails from Trois Piton. She is currently in police custody.
Sources say the man was stabbed in the neck area. It is suspected that a broken bottle was used to inflict the injury.
An eyewitness told St. Lucia News Online (SNO) that she was in her “friend’s tray” when the stabbing took place.
“She stabbed him for his own icicles,” the eyewitness alleged. “His name is Valence. He sells icicles for a living. She broke a Guinness bottle and stabbed him with it.”
When asked what may have led to the stabbing, the eyewitness further alleged: “She was accused of stealing his icicles and when he confronted her, she took the bottle from a lady’s tray nearby, broke it and stabbed him. I am still shaken about this. That’s cruel.”
Police sources say the teenager was in danger of being beaten by the public and had to be whisked away by a police officer.
“The crowd was way too hyper. They (police officers) had to get the girl out of there,” the source said. ”There was quite a lot of blood.”
