A police recruit was charged in court on Tuesday in connection with a stabbing incident which occurred over the weekend during the Harbour Island Regatta. <\/p>\n
Trevino Stubbs, 26, was charged before Chief Magistrate Roger Gomez with assault, causing harm and trespassing.<\/p>\n
It is alleged that on October 14 on Barracks Street, Harbour Island, Stubbs assaulted a female and caused harm to Kurt Thompson, who is still nursing wounds in hospital.<\/p>\n
It is also alleged that Stubbs trespassed by entering the premises of the female whom he allegedly assaulted.<\/p>\n
Stubbs pleaded not guilty to the charges and was granted bail in the sum of $2,000.<\/p>\n
He is scheduled to return to court on October 31.<\/p>\n
Police reported over the weekend that the near fatal attack resulted in Thompson, 24, being stabbed multiple times in the stomach and back area.<\/p>\n
Thompson, who is believed to a resident of the eastern district of New Providence, had to be airlifted to New Providence after he was attacked by a group of men, police said.<\/p>\n
He was listed in serious condition upon arrival at the Princess Margaret Hospital.<\/p>\n
Stubbs is the third police recruit for the year to face formal charges in a magistrate\uff92s court.<\/p>\n
Last week, another male recruit was charged with having sexual intercourse with a minor, and a female recruit was charged a few weeks ago on drug related charges.<\/p>\n
