A MAN was granted bail after being accused of assaulting his wife with a cutlass earlier this week.
The accused, Ricardo Smith, 48, appeared before Magistrate Shaka Serville on a charge of assault with a dangerous instrument.
It is alleged that he assaulted his wife on January 29 during an argument.
In court, Smith pleaded not guilty to the charge. During bail consideration when the question of living arrangements arose, Smith said he would live with other family members if released. He was granted $1,000 bail.
The magistrate urged that he take alternative residence during proceedings.
His trial is set to begin on March 3.
