–despite near fatally wounding schoolboy

A ROUTE 40 minibus conductor was on Monday placed before Principal Magistrate Judy Latchman for stabbing a 17-year-old secondary school student.
Miguel Isaac, 19, of Garnett Street, Kitty denied that on November 9, at Stabroek Market, he maliciously wounded Odaffi Taylor.

Police Prosecutor Shawn Gonsalves made no objection to Isaac being released on bail.
According to Gonsalves, on the day in question, Taylor was standing at the Kitty bus park awaiting transportation, when the bus on which Isaac is a conductor pulled in.
He related that as Taylor attempted to board the bus, he was prevented from doing so by Isaac, which caused the two to get into a heated argument.

It was in the course of the argument that Isaac pulled out a pair of scissors and stabbed Taylor in the neck.
Isaac was released on $100,000 bail and ordered to return to court on December 11.
