Michael Stone, 34, accused of wounding with intent following a fight in Norwich in December, could be assessed for fitness to stand trial.

Michael Stone, 34, has been charged with wounding with intent following a fight in Rose Lane, Norwich on December 4 last year. Police had been called to reports of two men fighting in the area, and another man sustained a head injury during the incident.

Stone has denied the charge of wounding with intent and is due to stand trial on January 4 next year. At a case management hearing at Norwich Crown Court this week, he appeared animated in the dock and expressed unhappiness with his legal team.

Judge Katharine Moore adjourned the case and indicated she wanted Stone to be assessed to determine whether he is fit enough to stand trial.
