Alan David McCroary (21), of Camberwell Way, is accused of two charges of possessing a knife in a public place; assault occasioning actual bodily harm; common assault; failing to provide a specimen of breath; and possessing a class C drug, diazepam.

The offences are alleged to have taken place on February 8 last year.
