Kris Johnson, 39, of Orrell Hall Close, in Orrell, is charged with maliciously wounding Alan Wilson with intent to cause grievous bodily harm on February 28.
The offence is so serious that it can only be dealt with by a judge, so Wigan magistrates sent the case to Bolton Crown Court, where he will appear on September 2.
