ALBERT Cromwell, who is an Independent Candidate for the Kitty constituency, contesting the Local Government Elections, was yesterday placed on bail after he was charged with unlawful wounding.

The 45-year-old Cromwell was placed on $60,000 bail after he made his appearance before City Magistrate Dylon Bess, where he pleaded not guilty.
The Court heard that on February 15, 2016 at Dowden Street, Cromwell unlawfully assaulted Iqbal Rahim, a resident of Kitty and a part-time supervisor for Team Benschop, who was mounting flags and posters on behalf of Benschop.
The Court heard that Rahim was on a ladder placing the campaign flags on the power pole along the roadway, when Cromwell appeared and requested that he remove the flags.
It is alleged that Rahim ignored Cromwell, who then pulled the ladder off the pole, causing Rahim to fall. The matter was adjourned until March 7, 2016.
