A teenager armed with a kitchen knife threatened to "shank" and "cut up" an RAF veteran after they bumped into each other outside a shop. The victim said the confrontation left him "greatly affected".
Ashton Evans, 18, brandished the weapon at Andrew Doody in Crosskeys, Caerphilly, on May 21 as they came face to face outside the Premier Store. There had been previous "incidents" between the two men, the latest of which had taken place weeks before, the court heard.
A sentencing hearing at Newport Crown Court on Friday heard Evans reached into his waistband and took out the kitchen knife, telling Mr Doody "Stand back or I'm going to shank you bro". He pointed it at the victim, who estimated the blade to be around six inches in length.
