Pirate thrown overboard

An Icacos man, who was shot in his chest while fighting off a gun-wielding pirate, has been credited by his brother for saving their lives following a brazen attack by Spanish-speaking men in the waters of the Gulf of Paria on Friday morning.

The wounded man was able to throw the pirate into the sea while he was rushed to the Coast Guard base at Cedros and later taken to the Point Fortin district hospital.

He was subsequently transferred to the San Fernando General Hospital.
