A south Essex man has appeared in court charged with threatening a woman with a knife in Basildon town centre.

Mohammed Dabo, 35, of Clickett End, pleaded not guilty at Basildon Crown Court on Monday morning threatening the woman with a bladed article.

He is alleged to have committed the offence at JD Sports at the Westgate shopping centre on July 6.

His trial was put in the warned list for March 16 – meaning it could be held at any time in the three weeks beginning on that date.

The trial is predicted to last three or four days.

In the meantime, he was remanded into custody.
