He denied the charge which stated that on December 11, 2021, at East Ruimveldt, Georgetown, he unlawfully assaulted Akeni Alexander, so as to cause him actual bodily harm. He was granted bail in the sum of $20,000.
The prosecutor told the court that the virtual complainant operates a chair rental service and is known to the defendant. On the day in question, Alexander went to uplift some chairs he had rented to Ramsey’s relative, Malissa Ramsey.
During that time, Alexander and Malissa had a misunderstanding over the number of chairs that were being returned. As such, Raheem Ramsey intervened and began pulling the chairs from Alexander. Shortly after, the two men ended up in a fight during which Raheem Ramsey dealt the complainant several cuffs to his head and about his body, causing him to receive injuries.
Raheem Ramsey’s next court date is February 24. (G1)
