A man has denied threatening a taxi driver with a knife and will face a trial next year.
Gbolahan Adelabu, 18, of Honeyman Close, Kilburn, London, appeared at Ipswich Crown Court on Friday to face a single charge of threatening a person with a bladed article.
The charge relates to an alleged incident on Bergholt Road, Colchester, on July 24 this year.
