A WOMAN is in hospital nursing stab wounds after she was injured and robbed by another woman to whom she had given a ride in Eleuthera.

The incident occurred shortly after 11am on Tuesday, police said.

Police were told that a woman was driving her vehicle in Palmetto Point when she picked up a woman who asked for a ride to Savannah Sound. Upon arrival in Savannah Sound, the passenger allegedly stabbed the driver with a knife and demanded cash.

The victim handed over her handbag and was stabbed again. The suspect then took a small amount of cash from the handbag and fled on foot, police said.

The victim was treated by the island’s local doctor and later flown to New Providence for further medical treatment. The victim’s injuries are listed as non-life threatening.

A short while later, police arrested the female suspect in connection with this incident.

Police also reported that a man on their Most Wanted list was captured in Nassau early yesterday morning after being on the run for two weeks.

Amal Hunter, alias “Bow”, is now assisting police “in connection with a number of recent murders”.

Police say he was “arrested without incident” around 1am Tuesday at a home in New Providence by officers from the Selective Enforcement team during a special operation.

Also arrested were a woman and three men, occupants of the home in which Hunter was arrested.

They were accused of harbouring a fugitive who was being sought for questioning.
