Repeat offender on malicious assault charge

MAGISTRATE Priya Beharry yesterday remanded Junior George to prison when he appeared in court charged with assault.

George (no address given) pleaded guilty to the charge which said, on August 9, he unlawfully and maliciously assaulted Onika Adams with intent to cause her actual bodily harm.

According to Police Sergeant Krishnadat Ramana, prosecuting, the defendant and a man had a misunderstanding during which Adams intercepted.

Ramana said the woman’s intention was to make peace but instead the defendant pelted her with two bricks.

George is currently on a bond for a similar offence, the Prosecutor informed the court.

The Magistrate ordered a probation report into the matter pending sentence on September 11.

Because the bond is still in effect, George was refused bail.
