Before Magistrate Geeta Chandan Edmond Persid, in New Amsterdam Court on Tuesday, he denied assaulting 14-year-old Renee James and was placed on $5,000 bail until March 3.

The case for the Prosecution is that James was standing in front of New Amsterdam Market with friends, last February 16, when the defendant took a pair of scissors and cut her hair.
The girl made a report to her parents who caused the Police to intervene.
