A 26-year-old man was granted $5,000 bail yesterday after he was accused of stabbing a man multiple times last week on Shirley Street.
Magistrate Shaka Serville charged Edwin McCartney with grievous harm.
Gregory Hilton represented the accused.
McCartney is accused of stabbing 21-year-old Anthony Bethel multiple times about the body near the junction of East and Shirley Streets around 4.30am on December 27.
The victim is said to have known his assailant and was last listed in hospital in stable condition.
After pleading not guilty to the offence, McCartney was told he must sign in at the Elizabeth Estates Police Station twice a month. He must also be fitted with a monitoring device. His trial is scheduled for March 21.
