The 42-year-old appeared in the High Court at Dunedin by audiovisual link yesterday on four counts of attempted murder after allegedly attacking two supermarket staff members and a married couple at the Cumberland St Countdown on May 10.
The man pleaded not guilty
at his previous hearing and elected trial by jury.
Crown prosecutor Richard Smith yesterday told the court the clinician assessing the defendant needed more time to complete their report.
Justice Robert Osborne remanded the man in custody until November.
The issue of name suppression, Mr Smith said, would likely be determined by the contents of the report.
Suppression of the alleged stabber’s identity would therefore continue until his next appearance, the judge ruled.
