A 37-year-old man, Richard Amoah, has narrowly escaped death after he was stabbed multiple times by an unidentified man at Tema Community One Site 15.
According to the Padmore Electoral Area assemblyman, Mr. Charles Amos, the incident happened on Monday, March 25, 2024.
He said the thief escaped with two mobile phones and a GH₵300, adding that the incident had since been reported to the Tema Community One police station.
According to the assemblyman, it took the intervention of some community members who screamed for help upon seeing what was going on to save the life of Mr. Amoah.
He said theft was often recorded in the community, especially at Site 500 and its environs.
Mr Amos called on the authorities and the Ghana Police Service to act urgently on the situation, as the place was becoming a breeding ground for social vices.
The victim, narrating the incident, said he woke up at about 2:00 a.m. and saw the unidentified man holding his jeans and searching his room.
He added that he chased the thief, who ran out of the room immediately after he got up.
Richard said that he caught up with him outside the house and tried to collect his items from him, but the unidentified man stabbed him multiple times and ran into Site 500.
He said neighbours rushed him to the Lagoon clinic at Tema Community One for treatment.
