A SUSPECT will stand trial next summer accused of attempting to strike a man with a knife.
Andrew Hosie allegedly assaulted Mark McDonald at a property in Glasgow's Knightswood on May 29, 2020.
Court papers claim the 34-year-old attempted to strike him on the head with a knife or a similar instrument.
Hosie features on an alternate charge of having a blade or sharply pointed instrument namely a knife without a reasonable excuse or lawful authority in a public place.
The other alternate claims Hosie had an offensive weapon namely a knife in a public place without a reasonable excuse or lawful authority.
Hosie had no representation today at Glasgow Sheriff Court due to ongoing industrial action.
Sheriff John McCormick said: "Because of the delays due to the Coronavirus pandemic, a trial won't take place until 26 July.
"The duration will be two days."
