Billy Haynes is charged with wounding with intent and unlawful wounding in connection with an incident on May 2.
The 23-year-old, of Bradley Street in Cardiff, appeared via prison video link for a plea and trial preparation hearing at Bournemouth Crown Court on Thursday. He pleaded not guilty to both charges, and a trial will take place in August.
