A MAN charged with attempted murder and sexual assault could enter a plea to the charges later this month.
The latest hearing of the case Anthony Roberts of Amber Heights, Green Hill, Worcester, took place at Birmingham Crown Court on Monday (August 14).
The 56-year-old faces attempted murder and sexual assault charges as well as a charge of possession of a bladed article in a public place, linked to the same incident.
Roberts, who wasn't required to appear for the latest hearing at Worcester Crown Court on Monday, (August 16), had his case adjourned.

Roberts is now set to appear at a plea hearing at Birmingham Crown Court on Friday, August 25.
A provisional trial date, if required, has already been set for Monday, October 9.
As we previously reported, police were called just after 2am on May 7 after a 71-year-old woman was attacked in Kleve Walk in the city centre near the River Severn.
The woman suffered multiple stab wounds in the attack and was taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in a critical condition.
A later update said the woman was in a stable condition.
