Handcart man accused of stabbing woman
A young man accused of chasing a woman and stabbing her multiple times after hitting her with his handcart was remanded in custody.
Raymar Tibby, 19, of Kingston 5, is charged with wounding with intent.
The court heard that the complainant was walking in downtown Kingston when the accused, who was pushing a handcart, used the cart to bounce her.
The complainant reportedly touched him and told him that he had used the cart to hit her and an argument developed.
During the argument Tibby reportedly punched the accused in her mouth and pulled a knife at her. She ran onto Princess Street and into a shop.
However, it is reported that Tibby chased and stabbed her several times, causing her to fall to the ground.
The complainant was taken to Kingston Public Hospital where she was hospitalised for some time and treated.
However, Tibby’s lawyer, Hopeton Marshall, denied the allegations.
He subsequently asked for the matter to be rescheduled for mention and Tibby was remanded. He is scheduled to return to court on March 4.
