A teenager who's been remanded in prison after a stabbing at Halloween has had further charges brought against him.

18-year-old Jack Bridson appeared at Douglas Courthouse yesterday charged with three offences dating between October and November last year.

He's accused of two counts of unlawfully possessing the Class A drug known as "251 NBOMe" and possessing cannabis with intent to supply.

No pleas were entered and a two week adjournment was requested - he'll next appear in court on March 3rd.

Last month Bridson was committed to the Court of General Gaol Delivery after being accused of stabbing another man on October 31st last year.
