The Crown Prosecution Service agreed to offer no evidence on a previous charge of attempted murder and a four-day trial, which was due to begin today, was dropped.
A further charge of possession of an offensive weapon will lie on file.
Bartholomew-Mann was remanded into custody and will be sentenced on April 30.
