During a hearing held at Sheffield Crown Court last month, 19-year-old Bassan Khan entered not guilty pleas to charges of wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm; having an article with a blade or point in a public place; possession of a firearm and criminal damage.

A trial date has been fixed for November 26 this year.

The Recorder of Sheffield, Judge Jeremy Richardson QC, released Khan on conditional bail until his next court appearance.
