Police are investigating a mauling incident near the Afetnas area Sunday night that sent a 39-year-old Chinese male to the Commonwealth Health Center Intensive Care Unit.
The victim, identified as Zu Di Chen, sustained a severe puncture to his right lung.
According to DPS Public Information Officer Cecile Seles, Mr. Chen was riding his bicycle traveling east Sunday at around 9:00pm when an unidentified male from behind pushed him off his bicycle.
When the victim was sent off balance, the suspect then stabbed him on the back area. It was not indicated how many stab wounds the victim obtained from the suspect, who is believed to have used a blunt dangerous weapon.
The Department of Public Safety immediately transported Mr. Chen to the hospital. The Criminal Investigation Bureau is still searching for other possible suspects to the assault.
Where is my rebate?
A former Pacific Islands Club employee filed a police complaint Friday concerning his tax rebate check that was allegedly been forged.
The complainant, Mr. Rainer M. Mamporte, 35, reported to the DPS Central Office that although he now works for Island Apparel, all his mails are still forwarded to his previous place of employment.
According to him, he had waited so long for his $787-tax rebate check to arrive, only to find out last Wednesday that it had already been claimed by means of forgery.
