A 63-year-old man was taken to hospital for treatment after sustaining a stab wound.
Menzies was later charged with GBH with intent and possession of an offensive weapon.
He admitted these charges at Ipswich Crown Court on Monday, June 21.
He is due to be sentenced at the same court on October 8.
A spokesman for Essex Police said: "We have been supporting the victim since the incident and he is continuing to recover."
