A "PH" driver remained hospitalised overnight yesterday after he was shot and robbed while plying his car for hire. Police reports state that 29-year-old Brandon Thompson, of Blue Stone Street, Demerara Heights, Wallerfield, drove himself to the Arima Health Facility on Monday night, in a desperate attempt to seek medical treatment. Before slipping into unconsciousness, he told medical attendants he was beaten, robbed and shot while working on Monday.
Reports remain sketchy because of the limited information the victim gave to doctors before losing consciousness. He was transferred to the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex in Mt Hope. Investigators were expected to return there late yesterday, to interview the victim.
