Hassan Hussain, 24, of Nye Bevan Close, has already been charged with one count of attempted murder, one count of possession of an imitation firearm, namely a handgun, and possession of a bladed article, namely a ‘Rambo’ knife.

He appeared at Oxford Crown Court in April and pleaded not guilty to all three counts.

A trial date has now been set for August 19 at the same court. The pair will likely be tried together if Khan enters not guilty pleas to the count of attempted murder.
