Man survives two gun attacks in St Ann

Man survives two gun attacks in St Ann

ST ANN, Jamaica- A man cheated death twice after escaping with his life from two separate gun attacks in less than 24 hours in St Ann.

The man was first shot and injured around 11:00 on Thursday night and was again attacked by gunmen on Friday afternoon but escaped injuries, the police said.

In the second incident, it was reported that around 1:30 pm, the man was travelling in a taxi when he observed a white Toyota Axio motorcar trailing the cab.

He reportedly alerted the driver, who slowed down. The Axio drove past then blocked the taxi’s path.

The man, the police said, immediately jumped from the car and fled. Two men exited the Axio with guns and gave chase while firing several shots at him. He managed to jump a perimeter wall and escape injuries.

The gunmen returned to their motor vehicle and drove away, the police said.
