A 38-year-old man was ar­rest­ed in re­la­tion to two in­ci­dents where he at­tacked two men on Thurs­day morn­ing.

In the first in­ci­dent, a 24-year-old man was sit­ting on a bench on Pe­tit Cu­ru­caye Road, at around 10.45 am when he no­ticed the sus­pect ride past on a mo­tor­cy­cle.

The vic­tim con­tin­ued to scroll on his phone but lat­er felt a liq­uid with a strong odour be­ing poured over him.

As he looked around, he saw the same man hold­ing a gas can­is­ter and threat­en­ing to burn him alive.

The man ran through a near­by yard, es­cap­ing his at­tack­er.

Short­ly af­ter, three men went to the same bench when they no­ticed the same man point­ing a gun at them.

The trio ran away, how­ev­er one of them was shot in the left but­tocks.

A pass­er-by took the bleed­ing man to hos­pi­tal where he re­mained ward­ed up to Fri­day morn­ing af­ter re­ceiv­ing emer­gency surgery.

A re­port was made to po­lice and of­fi­cers of the North-East­ern Di­vi­sion Task Force and the San Juan CID vis­it­ed the scene where they found the sus­pect and ar­rest­ed him.
