Following an urgent plea from his mother, 21-year-old Hakeem Bourne will be assisted with the rehabilitation that he needs.
Bourne, of 2nd Berly Land, Sayer's Court, Christ Church, appeared before Magistrate Wayne Clarke in the District 'A' Magistrates' Court today, charged with unlawfully and maliciously wounding 48-year-old Terryl Sayers, of No 5052, Millennia Boulevard, Apartment 207, Orlando, Flordia, USA.
Bourne's mother told the court that the 21-year-old had a drinking problem and this was the second altercation he was involved in while under the influence of alcohol.
"I think he needs to grow up . . . . I think he needs an environment of rehabilitation," she said.
On Friday, May 11, while in St Lawrence Gap, Christ Church, Bourne got into a dispute at the entrance of the Old Jamm Inn Night Club over the entrance fee.
After being removed from the premises by security, he armed himself with a glass bottle and threw it into the night club, resulting in Sayers receiving a laceration to her throat.
Bourne was remanded until June 8, 2018.
Meanwhile, Jason Omar Harper, of Rochampton Road, Jackson, St Michael, also appeared before Magistrate Clarke in the District 'A' Magistrates' Court today.
He was not required to plea to the indictable charge of possession of a firearm without being the holder of a licence to do so.
Harper was remanded to Her Majesty's Prison Dodds until June 8, the date of his next court appearance.
