A knife-wielding thief who was caught stealing clothes from baby shop Mamas and Papas swung his bladed weapon at a man who tried to stop him from leaving. The defendant was on bail at the time having previously been found in possession of a knife.
Louis Misfud, 41, brandished his knife towards Philip Barber at the Mamas and Papas store in Cardiff on February 23 after he saw the defendant placing items in his rucksack. Mr Barber's eyes met with those of the thief and Misfud started panicking.
As he went to leave the shop, Mr Barber stopped him, which caused the defendant to repeatedly hit his arms in a chopping motion shouting "Let go". A member of staff told Mr Barber "Let him go, we haven't got security."
