As previously reported, Andrew Mayes, 36, of no fixed abode, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a stabbing in the car park of Asda on Holles Street in Grimsby at around 8.15pm on Friday, June 1.

Mr Mayes returned to Sheffield Crown Court on Thursday, July 19.

A spokesperson for Sheffield Crown Court told Lincolnshire Reporter Mr Mayes pleaded not guilty to attempted murder and guilty to having a blade in public and wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm.
