A pair from Bristol and Toothill will stand trial on allegations they stabbed a taxi driver in 2019.
Julio Dyer, 36, of Willis Drive, Bristol, and Jamane Seeley, 27, of Stratford Close, Toothill, deny attacking the driver on June 15, 2019.
At Swindon Crown Court on Friday, Seeley pleaded not guilty to a charge of wounding with intent. A not guilty plea was entered on Dyer’s behalf by his barrister, Peter Binder.
The men are alleged by prosecutors to have stabbed the driver, who it is claimed was attacked in Park North after picking up a fare from Old Town in the early hours.
At the time, police said the driver suffered minor slash wounds. He was taken to the Southmead Hospital in Bristol.
Judge Peter Crabtree set the matter down for trial on July 19.
