A knifeman pulled out a blade in a corner shop in front of shocked children before he was attacked with a machete.
Michael Walker made threats with the weapon at the Go Local Extra store on Roughwood Drive in Kirkby "while vulnerable persons were present", Liverpool Magistrates' Court heard today. The ECHO understands that the the 34-year-old was then pursued down the street in a car and had a machete pulled on him at the junction of Gilescroft Avenue and Jarrett Road.
He suffered a head injury and was rushed to hospital as a result. But Walker - of Stavordale Road in Moreton, Wirral - "refused to assist a prosecution" against his attackers.
