But, he said he needed a short amount of time.

"I just haven't seen the relevant directions and the facts," he said.

Magistrate Lisa Stapleton agreed to relist the case on Friday.

"Bail to continue," she said.

Police alleged at the time that a teenager and his friend were walking along the footpath near Robert Street when a ute stopped and Sampson and another man got out and confronted them. Police claimed one was armed with a knife.

The teenager and friend managed to flee and alert a nearby house, according to police. Sampson was arrested and charged by Oxley police in the following days.

He has not entered a plea.
