An argument over a phone landed a teen before a City Magistrate, charged with attempted murder of a man who remains hospitalised in a critical condition.

Kan Das, 18, of Lot 12, Lombard Street, a labourer, was read a charge which alleges that on June 9, at Lombard Street, Charlestown, he unlawfully and maliciously wounded Anthony Bartholomew, with the intent to commit murder.

Das was not required to enter a plea to the indictable charge.
