An 18-year-old man was denied bail after being accused of assaulting another man with a firearm in New Providence last week.

Jeff Jean appeared before Senior Magistrate Anishka Isaacs on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon.

He is alleged to have assaulted Robert Cartwright with a handgun on July 4.

Jean pleaded not guilty.

Inspector Wilkinson, the prosecutor, objected to bail, citing the serious nature of the offence.

Jean was remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until his trial, scheduled for October 7.
