Police allege Minassian drove the van down a sidewalk on a stretch of Yonge Street between Finch and Sheppard.

The 26-year-old was not present at Thursday’s brief hearing.

The Crown and defence continue their judicial pre-trial discussions in the case.

In late 2018, Ontario’s deputy attorney general granted the prosecution’s request to skip a preliminary hearing and have the case go straight to a trial, which is slated for February 2020.
