ERROL Gafoor of Lot 108 Carmichael Street, Georgetown was yesterday placed on $25,000 bail by Magistrate Fabayo Azore on an assault charge. The forty-nine-year-old labourer pleaded not guilty to the charge that said on June 9 at Carmichael Street, Georgetown, he unlawfully assaulted Nicholas Hunt.
The unrepresented man told the court that they both live in the same house and he only threw down a bucket, explaining that he only “lick down the bucket.”
However, the prosecution alleged that on the day in question, Gafoor threw down the bucket and dealt Hunt a lash.
The matter was then transferred before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry for June 19.
