A 21-year-old man was warned about the danger of knives after he used them as a weapon during two separate incidents. Reece Hislop was not prosecuted for having the knives as the offences were indoors, and not in a public place.
But a court heard he admitted two charges of using threatening behaviour. The first was on January 10 this year where he used a knife to connect with a door. The blade was taken from him, but a second incident followed 10 days later, where he had a large kitchen knife on him.
He said to a neighbour: "Come on big man', and 'do you want to take this downstairs?'" Both incidents for Hislop, of Devon Road, Newark, were marred by alcohol, Nottingham Magistrates' Court was told.
