A young man is accused of attacking three people - including the bobby trying to arrest him - in Wigan town centre while armed with a knife and truncheon.
Carl Robinson, of Springfield Street, Springfield, appeared before borough justices charged with assaulting Taylor James, Jamie Hock and a PC Powell in the execution of his duty.
The 21-year-old is also accused of possessing an extendable baton and a folding knife with a blade longer than 3ins.
He was released on unconditional bail pending a first appearance before a Bolton Crown Court judge on November 28.
