A man accused of trying to kill an Edmonton police officer is still without a lawyer six months before his trial.

Abdulahi Hasan Sharif also faces charges related to a cube van speeding through the city’s downtown and injuring four pedestrians.

Sharif, who has parted ways with at least two lawyers, appeared in court today to get a new lawyer through legal aid.

A legal-aid counsel told court an experienced lawyer is ready to take the case.
