The accused was charged with aggravated assault for stabbing the complainant in the abdomen on October 22, 2012.
The Crown alleged the accused stabbed the complainant with a kitchen knife, causing serious injury including puncture of the gall bladder.
The accused claimed self-defence, asserting he was attacked by multiple individuals and stabbed in fear for his safety.
The court rejected the self-defence claim, finding the accused's version inconsistent with medical evidence, witness testimony, and physical evidence.
The court found the accused guilty of aggravated assault, noting he had the opportunity to flee before confrontation but chose to turn around and confront the complainants.
