Va­len­cia Po­lice are con­tin­u­ing in­ves­ti­ga­tions in­to a chop­ping in­ci­dent that oc­curred at a pig farm on Sat­ur­day.

The in­jured man has been iden­ti­fied as 40-year-old Sher­az Di­al of Oropouche Road, Va­len­cia.

Ac­cord­ing to po­lice re­ports, around 2.45 pm, Di­al went to a pig farm lo­cat­ed along Oropouche Road, Old Va­len­cia Road, where he saw a man on the premis­es and ques­tioned what he was do­ing there. An ar­gu­ment en­sued, dur­ing which the man, armed with a cut­lass, al­leged­ly chopped Di­al on his left hand.

Di­al re­port­ed­ly screamed for help and was as­sist­ed by a passer­by. He was tak­en to the Va­len­cia Health Cen­tre for ini­tial treat­ment and lat­er trans­ferred to the San­gre Grande Hos­pi­tal, where he re­mains ward­ed.

A 26-year-old Va­len­cia man is as­sist­ing po­lice with their in­ves­ti­ga­tions.
