A cruiser who was returning to his beached dinghy in Saline Bay, Mayreau, at approximately 5:30 p.m. on December 21st said he was attacked by a man with a machete, thrown down on the sand, and held there with a knee to his back.
According to a report by CSSN, the attacker demanded his money and “gold.”.
“The cruiser told him there was $5 ECD in the wallet in the dinghy and was asked if there was money on the boat. The cruiser told him only the 5 ECD as there was no ATM on Mayreau. He wore no watch or jewelry,” the report stated.
The attacker, as CSSN reported, threatened to cut off the cruiser’s head and told him to remain down, which he did as the assailant moved away into the nearby
trees.
“After a short time, he called out that he could go. The cruiser was not injured, did not look back, and rowed to a friend’s boat nearby. The five ECD were left behind,” the report stated.
A police report was made last Friday.
