Po­lice are search­ing for a 19-year-old Cara­pichaima man af­ter he re­port­ed­ly struck his old­er broth­er with a piece of iron, knock­ing him un­con­scious on Sat­ur­day night.

Po­lice said the broth­ers got in­to an ar­gu­ment at their home, dur­ing which the younger sib­ling picked up a piece of iron and threw it at his broth­er, hit­ting him at the side of his head.

The old­er broth­er was knocked un­con­scious, as his sib­ling ran away.

A rel­a­tive who was at home at the time took the wound­ed man to the Ch­agua­nas Health Fa­cil­i­ty where he was treat­ed and trans­ferred to the Er­ic Williams Med­ical Sci­ences Com­plex where he re­mained up to Sun­day morn­ing.

In­ves­ti­ga­tors said the man sus­tained blunt head trau­ma from the force of the blow.
