Drunk thug pressed knife into bouncer's chest and threatened to slash bar staff's neck...then was allowed back in to finish his beer

A drunken yob who stormed out of a Stalybridge bar after a bust up was allowed back in to finish his beer - just moments after threatening door staff with a kitchen knife.

Andrew Perry, 43, left the Back To The 80s bar on Market Street after being involved in a heated argument with a group of women. He returned to the bar an hour later armed with the blade demanding to be readmitted.

Despite pressing the weapon into a bouncer's chest and threatening to slash the manager's neck, he was allowed back in after giving the doorman a hug. He was even advised to hand in the knife at reception and collected it at the end of the evening.
