Chace Stevens, 18, appeared at Gloucester Crown Court following a September incident at Bank Gardens.

Stevens previously pleaded guilty to GBH, ABH, and possessing a knife in public.

Sentencing was delayed because the defence and witnesses disagree on how he obtained the weapon.

A Newton hearing has been set for January 22 to determine the disputed facts.
