A Port Stephens couple has denied an alleged screwdriver attack on a man at Nelson Bay in March last year and will head to trial.

Port Stephens-Hunter Police were called to a home on Shoal Bay Rd in the early hours of March 13, after reports a 41-year-old man had been attacked during a street brawl on Donald St.

Police allege the victim suffered multiple wounds after being stabbed with a screwdriver in the back at around 1.30am.

He was treated by paramedics before being rushed to John Hunter Hospital in a serious condition, after he suffered collapsed lungs as well as bruising and lacerations to his head.

A street search by police uncovered a number of items that were seized by officers, before a crime scene was established for forensic examination.

In December last year, Marks pleaded not guilty to the charge and was committed to Newcastle’s District Court in February.

In Newcastle Local Court on Wednesday, Pearman appeared via video link and also pleaded not guilty to the same charge and will join Marks next month, where they will both be arraigned and a trial date will be set.
