When the accused person approached him, he removed a broken bottle from the nylon bag and wanted to stab him with it.
There was a push and pull, and the accused then stabbed him with the broken bottle on his face and the hand.
His sister went and reported the matter to the Brikama Police Station, and the accused person ran away, he told the court.
He went with the police to the station, and was taken to the Brikama Health Centre where he was treated and discharged.
The accused later showed up, and was arrested.
