The suspect, believed to be the rapist who has been on the run for sometime now, was taken into custody after a 23-year-old mother was attacked in her Lot 554 Canvas City, Wismar home and struggled with him.

The naked attacker fled from the woman’s house and made good his escape after the 04:00h invasion of her bottom flat residence.

The victim said she was asleep when she felt something drop between her legs.

When I opened my eyes, the person had what seemed to be baby oil in one hand and held on to my throat,”she recalled.

She said she started fighting off her assailant and hollering but when her aunt enquired, from within, what was happening she could not answer because the intruder was still holding her throat.

However, every time she got the opportunity, she screamed and, on realising he could not succeed in his quest, the man grabbed something he had put down on the bed, either a knife or an ice pick and stabbed her twice, she told the Guyana Chronicle.

She said the weapon pierced her right thigh and the inside of the upper part of her left leg.

According to her, the man entered the house by removing panes from a louvre window and unlocking a door through which he fled after the failed attempt at raping her.

He was naked and wore a black felt hat which was discarded at the scene and retrieved by the Police.

The woman said her three children, aged four years, two years and 11 months, were in the apartment at the time.

A cousin chased after the fleeing man but abandoned the chase for fear that the attacker might have been armed with a gun as he threatened to kill when the pursuer appeared to be gaining ground on him.

But the man in detention was arrested on the basis of the description given by the woman.
