DC Superior Court Judge Errol Arthur granted prosecutors motion for continuance on Sept. 24.

Jose Garcia Fuentes, 42, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon and simple assault for his alleged involvement in a stabbing on the 4400 block of 14th Street, NW, on April 24.  An individual sustained injuries during the incident. 

Before the hearing, the prosecution filed a motion to postpone the trial because the prosecutor is currently in trial for another case. All parties agreed to continue the trial at a later date.

According to court documents, an individual, later identified as Garcia Fuentes, was in a verbal and physical altercation with an individual while intoxicated.

Parties are slated to reconvene for trial on Oct. 1
