A knife-wielding thug who threatened to kill a family's dog and a schoolboy's parents has walked free from court.
Michael Karmazyn's aggressive and erratic behaviour left a trail of fear as he uttered threats while brandishing a blade. A court heard it was on a Monday tea-time in September 2021 that three boys playing football in a car park became aware of Karmazyn, who looked over a fence and shouted "Oi f****** come over here you little ***".
He identified one particular boy he wanted to speak to, who approached him. He asked him "have you been in the war son" and "have you been shot at".
