TWO male residents of Ongwediva were rushed to the Oshakati Intermediate Hospital for treatment — one with stab wounds and the other with injuries inflicted by community members angered by the stabbing incident.
The incident occurred at Alpha Bar during the early morning hours.
According to the police, the two men were fighting when one of them pulled out a knife and stabbed his opponent multiple times in the chest, abdomen, and left leg.
The 25-year-old victim was transported to the hospital and is admitted in critical condition.
The suspect, aged 44, was then attacked by unknown community members who, among other actions, beat him with empty bottles. He was also taken to the hospital under police guard and will be arrested and charged with attempted murder as soon as he is discharged.
