Andel Daniels, 33, of 19 Good Intent, West Bank Demerara, was ordered to post $25,000 surety on an assault charge yesterday.

Appearing before Magistrate Faith McGusty, the defendant pleaded guilty with explanation to the offence that said on August 19 at King Street, Georgetown, he unlawfully assaulted Roy Williams so as to cause him actual bodily harm.
Daniels in his defence stated that the VC hit him first after he proceeded to his stall to purchase some things. He further explained that after he had picked up the stuff Williams hit him twice with a piece of wire.  However, based on his explanation, Magistrate McGusty recorded a not guilty plead.
Police Sergeant Seon Blackman, prosecuting, did not object to the pretrial liberty of the defendant.  The matter was postponed until September 3.
