He appeared at Nottingham Magistrates Court on Tuesday, September 7 and was released on conditional bail.

DC Ella Redfern, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “Possessing any kind of blade in a public place can be a criminal offence.

"That’s why we work hard throughout the year not only to take dangerous weapons off our streets, but also to dissuade people from carrying them in the first place.”
