A MORUGA man who stopped his bison cart to drink a coconut on the side of the road in the community was shot in the leg on July 22.

Police said around 8.30 am, the 30-year-old man was on his way to his garden along Edward Trace, Moruga, when he decided to stop near a coconut tree.

As he came off the track leading to the garden and approached the tree, he reportedly heard a gunshot and immediately felt a burning sensation in his right leg, which began bleeding.
