A stabbing trial before DC Superior Court Judge Robert Salerno was delayed by a day on Aug. 13 because there weren’t enough jurors to move forward.
Abraham Urrutia Castillo, 28, is charged with two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon and simple assault for his alleged involvement in a non-fatal stabbing that occurred on Nov. 23, 2023, on the 2300 block of Wisconsin Avenue, NW. One individual sustained injuries during the incident.
According to court documents, Urrutia Castillo and another person were being escorted out of a restaurant, when the suspect allegedly pulled out a knife and slashed one of the workers on the left forearm, causing a deep cut.
As jury selection was set to begin, Judge Salerno carried the case for the following day hoping for more jurors.
Parties are slated to return on Aug. 14.
