An archive of the article. It doesn't appear to be exactly the site OP has screenshotted, but it's very, very close, to the degree that I assume it's the same article on some sort of news aggregator/article rehosting thing.
Anyway, the notable parts are:
A) This is an incident that occurred last year. It's being reported on now because he's being sentenced... but he wasn't arrested for this; no, he was arrested after a separate case of him brandishing a knife (which isn't given any more detail in this article).
B) The sentence is, naturally... 30 days rehabilitation activity and 150 hours of unpaid work as part of his sentence. (The article says "part" of his sentence, but also strongly implies he wasn't sent to prison. Although it's kind of badly written... it makes it sound like the court recorder or maybe his lawyer are the ones saying they're giving him a second chance, but that would make no sense so I assume it's a comment from the judge).
Anyway, assuming my reading of this bad article is correct, he was spared prison because it wouldn't be helpful to rehabilitating him, since, as his defense described him, he is "immature, highly suggestive to negative influences with a 'markedly low IQ'."
The obvious questions: could anything rehabilitate him, is there any reason to believe he won't reoffend, what is the value of having a violent, dumb, homeless guy allowed to roam free at all, do not seem to have come up.
