The charge alleged that on July 11, 2019, at George and Norton Streets, Werk-en-Rust, Georgetown with intent to maim, disfigure, disable or cause grievous bodily harm, he unlawfully and maliciously wounded Dellon Foster.
Facts presented by Police Prosecutor Ceon Blackman stated that on the day in question, the victim and the defendant were involved in a heated argument during which the defendant pulled out a cutlass and dealt the victim several chops about his body.
The injured man was then taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), where he was treated for his injuries and sent away.
The matter was subsequently reported to the Police and the defendant was arrested. The Magistrate remanded the defendant to prison and he is expected to reappear in court on October 25.
