A MAN was granted bail yesterday after being accused of attacking another man with a blade in Eleuthera last week.

Glenward Styles, 33, appeared before Assistant Chief Magistrate Carolyn Vogt-Evans on a charge of grievous harm.

He is accused of wounding Lasanto Styles with a bladed weapon on Bay Street in Tarpum Bay on March 17. The victim reportedly suffered several lacerations and required hospitalisation.

Although the defendant initially pleaded guilty, a not-guilty plea was recorded after he disputed the prosecution’s summary of the incident.

Bail was set at $9,000 with one or two sureties. He must sign in at the Rock Sound Police Station every Monday and Thursday by 5pm. He was also ordered not to come within 300 feet of the complainant or risk having his bail revoked.

Styles is due to return to court for trial on June 4.

Assistant Superintendent of Police S Coakley served as the prosecutor.
