Jamie Donaldson, 23, is alleged to have used a key to let himself into the victim's flat in Shaftesbury House, South Shields, on the night of Wednesday September 19.
He appeared at South Tyneside Magistrates' Court on Friday September 21 to face a charge of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
