A Venezue­lan man who at­tempt­ed to in­ter­vene in a fight at a bar in Freeport on Sun­day, re­mained hos­pi­talised in a se­ri­ous con­di­tion yes­ter­day.

Po­lice said the 36-year-old, who lives at Mis­sion Road, Freeport, was at the bar when a fight broke out among a group of pa­trons who had been gath­ered on the road in front of the es­tab­lish­ment.

As he at­tempt­ed to stop the fight, the vic­tim was at­tacked by a group of Venezue­lan na­tion­als, armed with bro­ken bot­tles, who dealt him sev­er­al stabs about the body.

Fel­low pa­trons rushed the vic­tim to the Cou­va Health Fa­cil­i­ty, where he was treat­ed and trans­ferred to the San Fer­nan­do Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal. He was in a se­ri­ous but sta­ble con­di­tion last night.
