A stabbing defendant pleaded guilty to assault with significant bodily injury in front of DC Superior Court Judge Jennifer Di Toro on July 14.
Hashim Bright, 46, was originally charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for his involvement in a stabbing that took place on the 1300 block of New York Avenue, NE, on May 25. The victim suffered two piercing wounds to his torso and underwent surgery for his injuries.
During the hearing, Bright pleaded guilty to assault with significant bodily injury, which carries a maximum of three years in prison. In exchange for his guilty plea, prosecutors agreed not to seek an indictment.
Parties are set to reconvene on Sept. 26.
