A man believed to be in his 30s and mentally deranged has attacked four persons at Abrepo Junction a suburb in the Kumasi Metropolis Tuesday morning.
An eyewitness who spoke to Adom News’ Awuku reported that the man whose name was given as Isakah Daniel was nearly lynched by onlookers but for the timely intervention of the police for the unprovoked attack.
The fourth person he noted however mustered courage and dispossessed him of the cutlass.
“We don’t even know where the mad man came from only to see him attacking passer-bys with a cutlass” he said.
However, the Suame Divisional Police Commander, Supritendent Prince Judah Cobbina who confirmed the incident to Adom News said Isakah Daniel was undergoing treatment at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital for his condition after being referred from the North Suntreso government hospital.
According to him, the man attacked the security men manning his ward and left the facility only to be spotted attacking residents later that morning.
He has since been subdued and handed over to authorities at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital while the injured have since been treated and discharged.
