Iringe-Koko further disclosed that the suspects are receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital in Port Harcourt.

She said operatives of the Elekahia Police Division responded to a distress call and rescued a victim who was stabbed by the suspected car thieves.

The suspects had, in the early hours of Monday, attempted to snatch a Toyota Corolla car from a Bolt cab driver after stabbing him.

The driver raised an alarm which attracted a mob before the arrival of the Police.
