Mohamed Rafeek Ahmad accosted, brandished a knife and floored Rehanna Benjamin before stealing her belongings on April 10, last.
The woman and a friend were reportedly walking along the seawall in the Kingston area when Ahmad approached them with a knife in his hand.
State Prosecutor, Inspector Michael Grant explained that Ahmad attacked the woman who despite her efforts to hold onto her bag, was pushed to the ground relieved of her items worth $114,000.
Benjamin, however, raised an alarm and police ranks that were in the area responded. They managed to apprehend him and the charge was subsequently instituted.
Ahmad was on Friday arraigned by Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry. He pleaded not guilty when the charge was read to him.
Inspector Grant offered several objections to bail. He urged the court to consider the violent abuse the victim sustained, that the articles were recovered on the defendant as well as the serious nature and prevalence of the offence and remand him to prison.
The Chief Magistrate upheld the objections and bail was refused. The matter was transferred to Magistrate Faith McGusty’s court where it will be called again on April 24 for trial.
