19-Year-Old Hospitalized Following Vicious Attack in All Saints

Published

Last night, 19-year-old Roshawn Martin from All Saints was viciously attacked by two masked assailants.

He is currently receiving treatment at the Sir Lester Bird Medical Center for a stab wound to his back inflicted by a sharp object during the assault.

According to Martin, the attack occurred as he and a friend were walking home in the village.

The perpetrators, wearing masks, ambushed him as a car pulled up, leaving him unable to identify them. In addition to the physical harm, the assailants also stole his iPhone.

Despite the ordeal, Martin is in stable condition.

    He and a friend were walking home when he was attacked. How come nothing was mentioned in the article about the so called friend? Did his friend run leave him? What happened to the friend?
