A father is now facing the court after he allegedly stabbed a man he found in a compromising position with his daughter, on a sudden visit to his home.

Michael Brown, a 37-year-old Carpenter of Rocky Valley, Stony Hill, appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday to answer to charges of wounding with intent.

The court was told that Brown went home to collect a sanding machine and, upon opening the door to a room in the house, he saw the complainant in a compromising position with his daughter - who is a minor. It is alleged that the accused hit the complainant over the head and stabbed him with a knife.

However, Brown's attorney told the court that the accused actually spoke some expletives when he made the discovery, and that the complainant pulled a knife on him and, in a subsequent tussle, the complainant was injured.
