Po­lice are in­ves­ti­gat­ing an in­ci­dent where six stu­dents, re­port­ed­ly of the Moru­ga Com­pos­ite School, bru­tal­ly beat a teenag­er be­fore fol­low­ing him to the Princes Town Health Fa­cil­i­ty, where they stabbed him and hit his preg­nant moth­er mul­ti­ple times on the head.

Of­fi­cers of the Moru­ga Po­lice Sta­tion con­firmed a probe is un­der­way and they are search­ing for the sus­pects.

The in­ci­dent, po­lice said, oc­curred on Tues­day af­ter­noon.

The teenag­er sus­tained a lac­er­a­tion above his left eye and is cur­rent­ly re­cu­per­at­ing at home.

In an in­ter­view with Guardian Me­dia yes­ter­day, the teenag­er’s moth­er ex­pressed con­cern about her son’s in­juries.

“That is a head in­jury, you can’t tell what hap­pened. Right now, he is telling me all the teeth in his mouth are hurt­ing. His head is hurt­ing. It is very painful for him,” she said.

The moth­er, who did not want to re­veal her name or her son’s iden­ti­ty, re­count­ed that her 17-year-old son had gone to a shop near their house and, while re­turn­ing, was as­sault­ed by the Moru­ga stu­dents.

“He did not know why they at­tacked him. I lat­er start­ed to take him to the Princes Town Hos­pi­tal. While on the way, he start­ed vom­it­ing blood. He faint­ed twice, and when we were at the hos­pi­tal, the stu­dents came and start­ed to at­tack him again,” she said.

The moth­er claimed the as­sailants used a sharp ob­ject to stab her son over the left eye as they sat in the wait­ing area of the fa­cil­i­ty. She said she re­ceived sev­er­al blows to the head as she urged her son to flee and at­tempt­ed to shield him from the at­tack.

“They had a sharp ob­ject in one of their hands. That is where he got that cut,” she said.

As blood be­gan to spurt, the teenag­er was rushed in­side for med­ical at­ten­tion. He was sub­se­quent­ly trans­ferred to the San Fer­nan­do Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal, where he re­ceived stitch­es.

The dis­traught moth­er said de­spite be­ing in a weak­ened state and bare­ly able to walk, the stu­dents per­sist­ed in as­sault­ing her son.

“The se­cu­ri­ty stood by and watched. I need some jus­tice,” she de­clared.

Mean­while, a po­lice re­port stat­ed two stu­dents ages 16 and 17 were stand­ing at the junc­tion of Pe­nal Rock Road and Moru­ga Main Road when they were ac­cost­ed by some Moru­ga Com­pos­ite stu­dents. Six ad­di­tion­al stu­dents joined in the al­ter­ca­tion. The con­fronta­tion es­ca­lat­ed up­on reach­ing the Princes Town Health Fa­cil­i­ty. Sergeant Oth­el­lo of the Moru­ga Po­lice Sta­tion is con­duct­ing fur­ther in­ves­ti­ga­tions.
