A motorbike repairer, Bismark Berchie, had run into trouble with the law for allegedly stabbing another man with a broken bottle during a fight.
The accused and the victim, Derrick Akwasi Antwi, are said to be good friends and had gone on a drinking spree when things went wrong.
The incident happened on October 09, in Adum, Kumasi.
Berchie was on Thursday put before a Kumasi Circuit Court, presided over by Mrs. Mary Nsenkyire, to answer a charge of causing harm.
He pleaded guilty with explanation and was granted a GH¢20,000.00 bail with two sureties, to be justified.
He was ordered to make his next appearance on Tuesday, November 15.
Police Chief Inspector Felix Akowuah told the court that the pair had gone to a drinking spot at about 1400 hours and after consumption of excessive amount of alcohol, Berchie removed the phone of the victim.
That led to a misunderstanding and then escalated into a fight in the course of which, Berchie attacked Antwi with a broken beer bottle.
He inflicted multiple wounds in the chest, hands and waist.
A formal report was made to the Adum Railways police station and the accused was arrested.
The prosecution said Berchie in his caution statement confessed to the crime.
