The man accused of stabbing three people during a festival in Vancouver's Chinatown last Sunday has appeared in provincial court in Vancouver, charged with three counts of aggravated assault.

Sixty-four-year-old Blair Donnelly was wearing a red prison-type jump suit when he appeared this morning via video link from the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital where he remains in custody.

He has been ordered to return to court on September 27th.

Donnelly was on an unescorted day pass from the psychiatric hospital last Sunday when three people were stabbed -- and the province has ordered a review of the decision to release him.
