A 35-year-old woman has been hospitalised after being beaten on her head near her apartment in Ste Madeleine on Tuesday night.
According to reports, around 9.30 pm, a man who lives in the same apartment building as the victim, Seema Seenauth, at Golconda Settlement, heard her screaming.
Upon investigating, he saw Seenauth lying in a semi-conscious state on the ground in the corridor of the building with a wound to her head.
Police could not confirm social media reports that a relative had bludgeoned her with a hammer on her head. Seenauth was still warded at the San Fernando General Hospital yesterday, but police said she could not recall what happened to her and her injury was not life-threatening.
Meanwhile, the officers have not found the weapon used in the attack nor has anyone been arrested.
PC Matloo of the Ste Madeleine Police Station is investigating.
