A driver who picked up a hitchhiker is recovering from his wounds tonight after the passenger turned out to be a knife-wielding robber.
Sometime after 7:00, 33 year old Adan Perez was driving a white Kia 14 seater van from Franks Eddie Village to Belmopan, and picked up a hitchhiker between Cotton Tree and Harmonyville. The passenger sat in the passenger seat beside Perez and he wasn't shy. In no time, he snatched a black purse with $210.00 dollars from the dash board. Perez tried to grab the purse back from his passenger, but the man pulled out a knife and and stabbed Perez once to the chest, and under arm, and twice to the right abdomen. The hitchhiker turned jacker then ran off with the purse and its content leaving Perez bleeding on the roadside. He got to the western Regional Hospital and police are investigating.
