Man survives two gun attacks in St. Ann

ST ANN, Jamaica – A man has escaped death twice after escaping with his life in two separate gun attacks within 24 hours in St. Ann.

The man was shot and injured for the first time around 11 a.m. Thursday evening. He was attacked again by gunmen on Friday afternoon but was uninjured, police said.

In the second incident, it was reported that the man was traveling in a taxi around 1.30pm when he noticed a white Toyota Axio following the taxi.

He reportedly alerted the driver, who slowed down. The Axio drove past and then blocked the taxi’s path.

The man immediately jumped out of the car and fled, police said. Two men got out of the Axio with weapons and chased him, firing several shots at him. He managed to jump over a perimeter wall and escape injury.

The gunmen returned to their car and drove away, police said.
