A presidential guard in Guyana was stabbed five times in capital Georgetown on Thursday by a man who demanded to see President Irfaan Ali after arriving at his official residence, police said.
The president and his family are safe, and the area around State House, the president's residence, has been cordoned off by security forces, a source told Reuters.
Ali was sworn in as president in August 2020 after he was declared the winner of a disputed election which saw votes recounted.
