Dylan Fisher did not appear in Tamworth Local Court when his case was called this week, but remains behind bars.
Fisher has been in custody for two months after he was arrested shortly after the confrontation off Goonoo Goonoo Road in the early hours of February 20.
The 26-year-old is accused of knifing a 41-year-old man in the torso. The injured man was found with stab wounds at the Coles service station about 3.45am.

Police prosecutor Sergeant Rob Baillie said the brief of evidence was "not compliant" with several items still missing.
"There's some photos outstanding, a transcript of body worn footage," he told the court.
"Obviously [the brief] has certain things in there that will need to be reviewed."
Legal Aid solicitor Rae Parker said she had received some of the evidence already.
"I have a brief that is reasonably substantial," she told the court.
She consented to the prosecution's request for a short adjournment to gather the outstanding items and told the court a new solicitor would take on the case.
Ms Parker said the file was to be assigned and the new solicitor would appear in May when the case is mentioned again.
Magistrate Julie Soars granted the adjournment and ordered the balance of items to be served on Legal Aid before the case returns to the court.
"Bail not applied for, refused today," she told the court.
Fisher is charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm - a charge that carries a maximum penalty of 25 years' imprisonment, if found guilty. He has not been required to enter a plea.
Police allege the pair are known to one another, and the incident was not random.
The 41-year-old injured man was rushed by paramedics to Tamworth hospital with serious injuries, but has since been released from hospital.
The stabbing saw Goonoo Goonoo Road shut down for several hours on February 20 as police and detectives examined blood-stained crime scenes.
Officers combed the service station, footpaths and the house across the road from the service station as part of their investigation.
