Scarborough man accused of robbing woman and carrying knife
Abubakarr Moiba, 43, of Falsgrave Road, Scarborough, is also charged with carrying a knife.
He was not asked to enter pleas to the charges when he made his first court appearance.
Magistrates sent his case to York Crown Court as the robbery charges can only be tried by a judge and jury.
They remanded him in custody until July 20 when he will appear before the higher court for a plea and trial preparation hearing.
The attempted robbery is alleged to have taken place on June 17 on St Thomas Street in Scarborough. Moiba is also alleged to have robbed the woman of ear plugs and carried a knife in public on June 28 on Victoria Street, Scarborough.
