Chopping in Orange Walk

A man was hacked and left in critical condition earlier tonight in San Lazaro Village in the Orange Walk district. According to sources, the victim has been identified as Edwardo “Lalo” Contreras.

Graphic video footage shows Contreras on the ground, bleeding heavily from multiple chop wounds, as two men armed with machetes attacked him.

A woman is seen intervening, pushing one of the assailants away, while the other returned to land more blows on Contreras, who appeared motionless.

In the recording, a bystander is heard saying the victim was “a police.”

More details will be provided in Monday’s News 5 Live’s evening Newscast.
