A Judge has ordered further psychiatric reports on a man who is charged with assaulting customers during a fracas at a seaside tea shop.
Neil Blom, aged 34, was not present at Exeter Crown Court and had already been declared unfit to plead.
His case was adjourned until March by Recorder Mr Andrew Oldland, when it is hoped to make progress by the evidence being heard by a jury which will have to decide if he committed the acts alleged against him.
Blom is accused of assaults, affray and criminal damage relating to a series of incidents near Lee Bay in June.
Some of the offences allegedly took place at a tea shop near Lynton, at the Lee Abbey Christian Fellowship, Martinhoe and Woody Bay.
Blom, of Parracombe, North Devon, is charged with two assaults causing actual bodily harm, two assaults by beating, affray, and damaging a car.
Recorder Mr Oldland remanded Blom to a psychiatric unit in Northampton and ordered an updated psychiatric report which will include a diagnosis and recommendations for future treatment.
