(CMR) A 23-year-old West End, Cayman Brac man was ran over by a car last night after a bar room altercation in George Town.
CMR sources indicate that the men were at the Sea Inn Bar on Shedden Road when an altercation broke out after 10:00 pm. He then fled the scene and was mowed down by the other person in a vehicle. The vehicle then had to be lifted off of him and he was transported to the hospital.
The police were filmed on the scene after they closed off the road. Eyewitnesses reported seeing the vehicle in the middle of the road.
Police have confirmed he's in critical condition; but we understand he was talking late last night. CMR sources have indicated he sustained a broken arm and leg as a result of the incident.
The road remains closed this morning. Shedden Road in Central George Town between Eastern Avenue and Mary Street is BLOCKED to all traffic. Motorists are urged to seek alternate routes into Central GT.
We are aware of the identity of both victim and alleged assailant and will update this story at a later time with those details.
