A drunk had to be tasered twice after he armed himself with a knife from a takeaway kitchen because his brother got into a fight.
Cocaine-fuelled Daniel Graham and his sibling had been enjoying a day out in Newcastle City Centre and had been drinking for nearly 12 hours by the time they ended up at a food outlet on Westmoreland Road. However, trouble soon flared between the pair and a group of males, a court was told.
Whilst his brother was involved in the fight, Graham ran into nearby PSB Grill and grabbed a knife from the kitchen area but, by the time he got back outside, police were on the scene and they immediately saw him with the blade.
