The assailant was overpowered in the process and handed over to the police by youth in the area who rushed to the parliamentary candidates rescue.
According to reports the assailant broke into the house of the parliamentary candidate wielding an iron rod and a knife desperately looking for her.
The driver of the parliamentary candidate attempted to confront the suspect but was over-powered.
The suspect, according to Babara Asher Ayisi, started vandalizing her car.
“I was getting ready to attend the Speech and Prize-giving Day of Wesley Girls High School, where I teach. All of a sudden, I heard some strange noise at the frontage of my house; my driver was the first to step out because I was running late for the day’s program.”
Babara Asher Ayisi averred that the suspect in his action ignored all vehicles parked in front of her house and went straight to her’s, saying “There were about five vehicles that were parked in front of my house but the guy went straight to the vehicle that had my posters on and started hitting the screens and the bonnet of the car with a flower vase and the iron rod he was holding. My driver then struggled with the man in the ensuing vandalism spree.”
According to her, the assailant was shouting, ‘where is the NPP MP?’ several times.
“Had it not been the nature of my gate, he would have succeeded in his mission. You would have been telling a different story now”
Meanwhile, the suspect was given several beatings and was bleeding before the police arrived at the scene.
He was taken to the Ankaful Psychiatric hospital for treatment and investigations have begun into the incident.
