A 20-year-old man, Dennis Kwaku Fosu, is receiving medical treatment after being stabbed during a violent incident at Ayinamso No. 1 in the Atwima Mponua District of the Ashanti Region.

According to Dennis, the confrontation began when he and his friends attempted to rescue another friend who was under attack by a group of unidentified boys on Saturday, August 16, 2025.

The intervention escalated into a heated exchange of words, which quickly turned physical, leading to Dennis being stabbed in the back of the neck with a sharp metal object.

“On Friday, some of our friends from Mpasatia Beposo went to Ayinamso No. 1 to have fun, and a scuffle broke out between them and the village folks. So, we went there on Saturday to resolve the issue,” he told Otec News reporter Benjamin Kwarteng.

“During the settlement, another disagreement erupted, and one of our guys was stabbed in the hand. I quickly ran away and took shelter behind a kiosk, but to my surprise, one of the village folks was behind me and slashed the back of my neck with a knife,” he added.

The deep wound caused severe bleeding, prompting his friends to rush him to the Frimpong Medical Center at Toase, where he received emergency treatment.

Medical personnel say he is still undergoing care but is responding to treatment.

Police have launched an investigation to identify the attackers and determine the cause of the violence. No arrests had been made at the time of reporting.
