Two men were treated in hospital after being stabbed during the incident at a Falls Road pharmacy on Thursday.
Patrick Campbell, 26, of no fixed address, spoke only to confirm that he understood the 11 charges against him.
Mr Campbell is accused of the attempted murder of Peter Wright and inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent on his colleague Peter McDonagh.
He is also accused of possessing a knife with intent to rob and assaulting police.
Mr Campbell faces further charges of robbing a woman of her mobile phone, attempting to steal money from a man and three further counts of possessing a knife with intent to rob on the same date.
No bail application was lodged on his behalf at Belfast Magistrates Court, so a district judge remanded him into custody to appear again via video link on 5 May.
One man, in his 40s, was stabbed in the arm and the second, a man in his 50s, sustained a stab wound to his chest, during the incident on Thursday.
Their injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

The bank earned â‚¬69.3m (Â£49m) last year, compared to just â‚¬2.9m in 2013, when it was hit by bad investments and clean-up costs.
Last year the management was replaced as part of an overhaul ordered by the Pope to stamp out corruption.
The bank has promised to improve its returns to customers.
"The main focus is on fundamentally improving our overall client service standards and further professionalising our asset management services," IOR chairman Jean-Baptiste de Franssu said in a statement.
As part of the overhaul, the bank pledged to screen all its accounts, bringing in anti-money laundering experts to carry out the task. As a result it has closed more than 4,000 accounts since May 2013, most of which were dormant, but 554 of which were closed because they did not meet the bank's new standards for clients.
The IOR moves money around the world to finance Catholic missions and provides banking services for the Pope, clergy and religious orders.

TV5 Monde was forced to broadcast pre-recorded programmes after the hack, which it described as "unprecedented in the history of television".
A message warning French troops to stay away from Islamic State was published on the station's Facebook page.
The hackers also posted documents purporting to be ID cards of relatives of French soldiers involved in anti-IS operations.
