A MAN pulled a knife on two other men in the middle of Greenstead, a court has heard.

Thomas Wallace allegedly brandished a Stanley knife in Hawthorn Avenue on December 12 last year.

He denies four knife possession charges relating to the incident.

Tattooed 48-year-old Wallace, of Hawthorn Avenue, appeared at Ipswich Crown Court for a plea and trial hearing on Thursday.

He stood in the dock with a walking stick and spoke only to confirm his name and address and to deny the charges.

He will stand trial in June.

Wallace was released on conditional bail and ordered not to go to Spruce Avenue or Magnolia Drive.

He was also ordered not to have any contact with both alleged victims.
