Oliver Scales-Copeland, 25, did not appear personally at Toronto local court on Tuesday, where the matter was adjourned to December 3.
The prosecution asked for an eight week adjournment for the Department of Public Prosecutions to prepare a brief of evidence, rather than the usual six weeks because there was "a lot of CCTV and a lot of witnesses from the incident".
Magistrate Michael Morahan described the wounding charge as "serious".
He also ordered a psychiatric assessment be performed on Mr Scales-Copeland before the matter is mentioned in court again.
