Suspect in domestic attack stabbed same lady in 2020

NASSAU- A woman left in critical condition after being stabbed and run over by a car was assaulted by the same man last year.

Ray Sands, a messenger at the Supreme Court, on June 30 pleaded guilty to causing harm to Peatra Curry.

The charge stemmed from a June 28 incident at their home.

Curry was holding her three-week-old baby when Sands slapped her.

The confrontation escalated and he stabbed her in the neck and back with a pair of scissors.

Magistrate Samuel McKinney ordered Sands to pay his victim $800 in compensation to avoid spending three months in prison.

He was also ordered not to interfere with Curry for one year.

The magistrate told Sands if he came to Curry’s home or job, he would be fined $500 or three months in prison.

On November 15 Sands allegedly attacked Curry as she held her young child.

Disturbing surveillance footage shows Sands dragging the woman on Key West Street and beating her as she holds a child.

Sands stabbed the woman in the upper body as onlookers intervened.

Sands’ car flipped over after hitting a truck and residents of the area detained him until police arrived.
