He was chopped a few more times but was able to hold on to the cutlass and became entangled with the intruder. The man fled and Abrams was able to recognize the perpetrator even as he shouted for help.
Abrams was subsequently taken to the New Amsterdam Hospital where he was admitted for emergency operation.
Isaacs was also sentenced to a further six months in jail on a charge of threatening behaviour, in which he threatened to kill Isaacs, which occurred in the New Amsterdam Magistrate Court.
