Stabbing victim Jhvonne Camille.
A 20-year-old man underwent life-saving surgery hours ago after he was reportedly stabbed on Friday night, according to several sources.
The victim, Jhvonne Camille of Micoud, was stabbed in the abdomen and had to undergo emergency surgery at St. Jude’s Hospital, the relative said.
The incident reportedly occurred near a pub by the Troumassee Bridge.
A friend close to the victim told St. Lucia News Online (SNO) that Camille was stabbed during an alleged unprovoked attack. The friend is not sure if the attacker and Camille had any disputes prior to the incident.
“He was standing and the guy just passed next to him and stabbed him. After he got stabbed he (Camille) went to his friends and told them and the didn’t believe him. They thought he was was fooling around like he always does, but when he fell to the ground they realise he was not joking,” the friend said.
It is not yet clear if Camille knew his attacker.
