A LEG amputee was accused of hitting a man in the head with a handgun and threatening to kill him outside his Sequoia Street residence last week.
Prosecutors allege Ian Farrington, 41, assaulted Dino Ferguson with a handgun on the night of September 12, striking him in the head and causing him to bleed.
Farrington allegedly threatened Mr Ferguson with death that same night and was later found with a .38 revolver.
Farrington pleaded not guilty to assault with a deadly weapon, threats of death, causing harm and possession of an unlicensed firearm before Deputy Chief Magistrate Shaka Serville.
Farrington, whose left leg is amputated, appeared in court using crutches.
Inspector Cordero Farrington, the prosecutor, objected to bail, citing the seriousness of the offences and saying Farrington had previous similar convictions.
Farrington submitted that he was a suitable candidate for bail and would comply with any conditions imposed by the court. He also said he worked as a landscaper.
Magistrate Serville granted Farrington $7,500 bail with one or two sureties. He must sign in at the East Street South Police Station every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday by 7pm.
The magistrate spared Farrington from wearing a monitoring device so it would not interfere with his employment.
Farrington returns for trial on March 2, 2027.
