A MAN was granted bail yesterday after being accused of assaulting another man with a handgun outside a wash house on Joe Farrington Road earlier this week.

Senior Magistrate Anishka Isaacs arraigned 29-year-old Giovanni Rubins on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon.

Rubins allegedly assaulted Otis Knowles Jr with a handgun on March 23. He is reportedly in a relationship with the victim’s mother.

He pleaded not guilty to the charge.

Bail was set at $3,500 with one or two sureties. As a condition of his release, Rubins must sign in at the Grove Police Station every Wednesday by 7pm.

The trial is scheduled to begin on May 27.

Assistant Superintendent of Police K Bould served as the prosecutor.
