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.
Adelabu, who wore a purple and white t-shirt in the dock, spoke only to confirm his name and enter his not guilty plea at the short plea and trial preparation hearing.
His trial has been put on a two-week warned list for March 8.
The trial is expected to last two to three days.
Judge Emma Peters granted Adelabu unconditional bail ahead of his next court appearance.
