WADE “BUMPY” BRIDGEMAN had his flaws, but was said to be one who didn’t go looking for trouble.
However, according to his friends, this was exactly what the 56-year-old car washer found in the wee hours of Saturday when, in trying to defend his honour, he got into an altercation with another man along Combermere Street, The City, which cost him his life. 
He received a stab wound to the torso and was taken to the hospital by ambulance, where he underwent emergency surgery but succumbed to his injury. Police said a man was assisting with investigations into the death.
“He wouldn’t go out of his way but he could display ignorance like anybody else,” a friend, who would only identify himself as “Dogs”, told the DAILY NATION yesterday. (CA)
