A machete-wielding thug slashed a man in front of terrified drivers.
The street fight broke out between Darren Blease-Maguire and a man he accused of threatening to burn down his flat at about 4pm on Saturday, October 22. Liverpool Crown Court was yesterday (November 23) shown CCTV footage of the incident, which happened on Frederick Street in Widnes.
Bernice Campbell, prosecuting, said a witness watched the fight from her car while stuck in traffic. The retiree could see two men “fighting with each other and swinging their arms at each other”.
