TWO men were, on Thursday, granted $15,000 bail each for allegedly assaulting Fort Wellington Secondary School teacher, Marlon Daniels, earlier this week.

Tray McPherson and Dishon Daniels appeared before Magistrate Peter Hugh at the Fort Wellington Magistrate’s Court.

The pair denied that, on March 13, 2023, at Fort Wellington, they assaulted Daniels causing him actual bodily harm.

The men were each placed on $15,000 bail and ordered to stay 50 feet away from the victim.

The matter was adjourned until March 30, 2023.

The Guyana Chronicle understands that, on the date in question, Daniels was verbally attacked by a fourth form student, who cursed him while in class.

That matter was reported to the headteacher of the Region Five school. The lad later stormed out of the school and threatened to involve his uncle in the matter.

After school, Daniels was allegedly confronted by the teen’s uncle and his friends outside the school compound.

The uncle reportedly restrained the teacher to allow the lad to beat him with an instrument. They then made good their escape.

The teacher’s face was bloody following the attack.

The matter was reported to the police and the men were arrested.

Meanwhile, this publication understands that the student will have to undergo counselling.
