Two men accused of attempting to rob a public transport operator with a pair of scissors will face trial early next month in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court.
The men, identified as Andrew Siccard and Joseph Howell both of Corporate Area addresses, were both charged with assault with intent to rob. They both pleaded not guilty.
Allegations are that the bus operator who plies the route from Olympic Way to downtown Kingston was surprised by the men who posed as passengers when they brandished scissors at him and demanded money.
It is alleged that the bus operator resisted when the men attacked him. It is reported that he was stabbed several times by the accused men who then escaped. The complainant went to the hospital where he was treated and released.
Both men where remanded and should report to court on July 12 for their trial.
