Two prisoners were early Tuesday morning chopped during a fight at the Lusignan Prison, East Coast Demerara, police said.

The unrest in Bays 3 and 4 that began at about 12:20 AM was “quickly put down”, the Guyana Police Force said

Injured are Kentie Bacchus and Linden Lewis.

Investigators were told that several other identifiable inmates from holding bay 2 jumped a fence and chopped Bacchus and Lewis.

“Both inmates were escorted out of the prison in a stable condition and transported to the Georgetown Public Hospital for treatment,” police said.

Last week, Bacchus and another inmate, Lennox Roberts, chopped Ceylon โ€œTallmanโ€ David who is on remand for murder.

David had been accused of leaking information that had led to a search of the Lusignan Prison and seizure of several prohibited items.
