A MAN was granted bail yesterday after being accused of injuring his brother during a physical altercation on Woodland Road last weekend.
Senior Magistrate Algernon Allen Jr arraigned Michael Allen, 58, on a charge of causing harm.
Prosecutors allege that during an intense verbal argument at 7.30am on March 8, the defendant punched his brother, William Allen, in the eye, causing injury.
The defendant and complainant are sons of the late parliamentarian Sir William Allen.
Michael Allen pleaded not guilty to the charge.
After prosecutor Sergeant 2257 Wilkinson raised no objections to bail, the magistrate granted it at $1,500 with one or two sureties.
The defendant was warned not to contact or interfere with the complainant or any witnesses, or risk having his bail revoked.
His trial is set for April 15.
