Jay Lindsay Curtis-Hodge, 39, faced the ACT Magistrates Court on Thursday, when he was charged with attempted murder and common assault.
Curtis-Hodge is yet to enter pleas and did not apply for bail.
He also faces a raft of other charges including aggravated burglary, joint commission taking a motor vehicle without consent, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
Police allege, for the most recent charges, about 9.40pm on March 25, Curtis-Hodge was involved in a physical altercation with another man at a home in Turner.
Curtis-Hodge is said to have assaulted the man, before allegedly brandishing a kitchen knife, attempting to stab him and then threatening to kill.
Police claim the alleged attempted murderer fled the scene on foot a short time later.
The alleged victim is said to have suffered a stab wound to his hand as he tried to defend himself, as well as soft tissue injuries to his face and head.
