Bridgetown, Barbados (TDN) -- Police in Barbados say a man in that country is helping them in their investigation following the savage knife attack on a visiting British couple over the weekend. No further information on his identity was given.
Professor James Bridges and his wife Olga, were brutally attacked by a masked intruder wielding a knife just minutes after checking into their million dollar rented villa in the island’s north-western parish of St Peter last week.
The former chairman of the European Commission’s Committee on Emerging Health Risks told the British press that he was downstairs and his wife upstairs of the villa when he heard her screams.
He rushed upstairs to see a masked man stabbing his wife. He tried to pull him off her at which point he too was stabbed. The stabbing continued for several minutes before the intruder ran off with all their money and credit cards as they lay bleeding on the bedroom floor.
A neighbor heard the commotion and called Police. They were both rushed to the hospital. The wife remains hospitalized at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Bridgetown, Barbados with a punctured spleen and diaphragm, and a fractured rib.
