The victim then managed to jump onto a bicycle, ride to the Ruimveldt Police Station, and make a report. He was subsequently rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he was admitted as a patient, and his condition is listed as critical.

The suspect was later arrested at Ruimveldt Police Station and placed into custody. Investigations are in progress.
