A 25-year-old man has admitted brandishing a machete during a street brawl.
Darren Blease-Maguire, 25, of Bancroft Road, Widnes, appeared at Chester Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday where he pleaded guilty to possessing a knife in public, assault occasioning actual bodily harm and affray. A Cheshire Police spokesman said Blease-Maguire was charged overnight.
He was remanded in custody to appear at Liverpool Crown Court for sentence next month. Court papers said the affray involved the use or threat of "unlawful violence towards another" and the "conduct was such as would cause a person of reasonable firmness present at the scene to fear for his personal safety".
