A St James man accused of cutting his babymother's boyfriend on the abdomen during a fight, had his case deferred to November 25 when he appeared in the Montego Bay Resident Magistrate's Court on Wednesday.

Thirty-two-year-old Kino Johnson, of an Over River address, is charged with unlawful wounding.

The allegations are that the complainant - who also has a child with Johnson's babymother - arrived at the woman's home. While he was there, Johnson showed up and a dispute developed between the men, following which Johnson used a sharp object to inflict a wound to the complainant's abdomen.

On Wednesday, clerk of the court Natalie Malcolm told Resident Magistrate Carolyn Tie that the prosecution's case-file had not been completed.

"In this matter, the prosecution is awaiting the medical certificate and the arresting officer's statement," said Malcolm, who also asked for a subpoena for the officer.

The case was subsequently set for mention on November 25.
