A knife-wielding drunk is facing jail after he threatened to kill a schoolboy's parents and a neighbour's dog.
Michael Karmazyn made the chilling threats during two separate incidents on the same day, with both leaving his victims "terrified". A court heard that the 38-year-old first targeted his neighbours by standing at their fence and repeatedly shouting that he was going to kill their pet dog, who was standing in their garden.
Although he didn't follow through with his claims and eventually left the scene, Karmazyn went on to approach a 13-year-old boy, who he didn't know, prosecutors said. The terrified youngster watched as Karmazyn embedded a knife into a fence as he threatened to kill his parents.
