A toy gun was pulled out in public and pointed during a terrifying incident on a Nottinghamshire industrial estate. It all developed when cafe worker Beredon Korveshaj had an altercation with his cousin in the car park of Bar Lane Industrial Park, Basford, on June 6 this year.
Korveshaj shoved his cousin backwards, Nottingham Crown Court heard on Wednesday (July 27). When a member of the public rushed in to break them up, the defendant pulled out an imitation firearm from his waistband, cocked it and held it at his side.
Anthony Cheung, prosecuting, said: "As the defendant continued to argue with his cousin, he pointed the gun at the member of the public and at his cousin. Upon seeing this, another member of the public attempted to take the gun away from the defendant and, at this point, the defendant ran away". Korveshaj, 21, of Gawthorne Street, Basford, went into a cafe and returned with a large kebab knife, with the toy gun still in his other hand.
