According to the facts presented by Police Prosecutor Corporal Sanj Singh, on the day in question around 14:00hrs, the Virtual Complaint was walking in the vicinity of Robb Street when the defendant walked up behind him and dealt him three stabs about his body.
When the charge was read to him, the defendant pleaded guilty.
The Police Prosecutor also told the court that the defendant is always in the habit of walking around and stabbing persons without a reason.
Magistrate Dylon Bess told the defendant that he should not be walking around stabbing persons because it’s a very serious offence.
