AN East Bank Demerara man sustained a gunshot wound on Monday during a daring mid-afternoon robbery at the corner Vlissengen Road and Lamaha Street in the city.

Roshan Rampersaud was driving a Toyota pick-up along the busy roadway and was awaiting the traffic light to change to green when he was pounced on by two men.

Closed circuit television (CCTV) footage showed the man being attacked by two men who hauled him out of his vehicle even as the traffic began to move. The men were seen frisking Rampersaud as he stood haplessly. Motorists drove by nonchalantly.

Reports are that the men had trailed their victim, who undertook a business transaction prior to the robbery.

The man sustained a gunshot wound to his leg and was briefly hospitalised during the afternoon on Monday.

The police are investigating the incident.
