A commercial motorbike rider has narrowly survived a vicious machete attack believed to have been aimed at ending his life in the Boinso community of the Western North Region, Ghana.
The incident occurred on the night of Thursday as the victim was returning home from work.
According to eyewitness, the attack happened at a notorious stretch of rough road in Boinso, where motorcyclists are often forced to slow down due to poor conditions.
While maneuvering cautiously through the area, the victim was suddenly ambushed by an individual wielding a cutlass.
The attacker slashed him multiple times in the head and neck. Bleeding profusely, the victim was only saved by the timely arrival of another motorbike rider, which scared the assailant off.
Despite his injuries, the victim was able to name his attacker. He identified the suspect’s distinctive outfit, a Barcelona jersey, which police later confirmed was worn by the attacker at the time of his arrest.
The victim is currently undergoing emergency surgery at Samartex Hospital in Samreboi, while the suspect remains in custody at the Enchi Municipal Police Station pending further investigation.
Though no formal charges beyond the assault have been confirmed, some residents allege that the suspect may be linked to a suspected local syndicate involved in the sale of human body parts.
Police say investigations are ongoing to determine the motive behind the attack and to verify community concerns.
