A FREEPORT man was hospitalised yesterday, after he was shot by a co-worker at the parking lot of the Grand Bazaar shopping mall in Valsayn.
Bahadoor “Andy” Pooransingh, 43, of Calcutta No 2, Freeport, was taken to the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex, where he remains in serious but stable condition.
Pooransingh, a father of two, was employed as a maintenance worker at the complex.
Police said that around 9.30 a.m., the victim had an altercation with another employee of the compound at a shed near the northern gateway. During the altercation, the man pulled out a firearm and shot Pooransingh, causing injuries to his face and chest.
When the Express visited the site shortly after the shooting yesterday, officers were processing the scene. Police said the suspect fled the scene, and a search was now on.
Relatives at the scene declined to speak to the media.
The Express was told that his condition was improving last evening.
