Unhoused man hit woman, stole phone
Abas Suleiman Mohamed, 34, had been charged with robbery, admitted to lesser crimes
Elizabeth Namit had an uneasy feeling when a strange man stared at her as she waited for the bus outside her apartment building, court heard Friday, and that was borne out when he struck her and stole her cellphone.
Abas Suleiman Mohamed, 34, of no fixed address, appeared in Fredericton provincial court by video conference from the Saint John Regional Correctional Centre on Friday.
He was scheduled to stand trial on a Feb. 10, 2025, count of stealing wine, Feb. 11 charges of robbing Elizabeth Namit of a pair of headphones, and Feb. 14 counts of breaching a police undertaking to stay off the premises of the Atlantic Superstore on Smythe Street and trespassing on the premises of Kings Place in downtown Fredericton.
However, prosecutor Patricia Gillett said the trial wasn’t proceeding, as the parties had reached a resolution.
