A drunken man got in a "terrible state" before threatening his pregnant partner with a knife.
Kai Taylor had drank around seven pints after visiting a number of pubs on May 21 this year before he became "extremely aggressive" and pointed a knife at the belly of his pregnant partner. The 22-year-old also pointed a knife in the back of another woman on the same date who came to assist, before he was arrested.
Taylor appeared at Durham Crown Court via link from HMP Durham on Monday to be sentenced for affray, assault and possession of a blade. He pleaded guilty to the charges during the hearing.
