Paul Carr (32) of Strand Road in Derry appeared at a preliminary enquiry at the local Magistrate's Court today.
He is charged with hijacking a vehicle on March 11, 2020 and is also charged with assaulting a man on the same date.
Carr was also charged with possessing a class C drug on the same date.
It was accepted there was a case to answer and there were no contrary submissions.
Carr said he did not want to call any witnesses or make any statement at this stage.
