A man who had just been granted bail on weapons charges is accused of stabbing another man in the back with a steak knife following an argument in Canberra's north.
Police documents tendered in court say Kalani Joliffe-Cole, 22, approached a man he knew outside that man's Holt home on Thursday morning.
An argument ensued and the man's parents came out to intervene, according to police, who claim Joliffe-Cole pulled a 30-centimetre knife from his pants and charged at the man.
Police say the man tried to run but slipped and fell, before Joliffe-Cole stabbed him once in the back. The man also suffered a "slash wound" to his front left pectoral area.
Emergency services were alerted about 9.50am on Thursday and paramedics tended to the injured man at the scene before taking him to hospital for further treatment.
Investigations led police to Joliffe-Cole's nearby home, also in Holt, where he was arrested after negotiations with officers.
Joliffe-Cole was held in custody overnight and appeared in the ACT Magistrates Court on Friday, charged with intentionally wounding. He did not enter a plea.
The court heard he had been granted bail on charges of possessing knives and ammunition less than two weeks before the Holt incident.
Joliffe-Cole's lawyer, Georgina Meikle, urged Special Magistrate Margaret Hunter to place him back on bail despite the new charge.
Ms Meikle said Joliffe-Cole was a young man with a limited history of violent offending.
She said he suffered from mental health issues and would be better-placed to receive treatment in the community than in custody.
But prosecutor Katrina Marson said Joliffe-Cole had already shown a disregard for court orders and bail should be refused.
She said bail conditions imposed in late May appeared not to have deterred Joliffe-Cole from "an escalation" in offending, and that releasing him again would endanger the safety of others.
Ms Marson also said the 22-year-old would have an incentive to skip future court dates because there was "a degree of inevitability" about him being sentenced to jail time if convicted of intentional wounding.
Ms Hunter found Joliffe-Cole posed too many risks to be granted bail again.
She said the allegations were very serious, and that she had no confidence in Joliffe-Cole's ability to comply with conditions.
Ms Hunter remanded Joliffe-Cole in custody and set the case down to return to court on July 10.
