Peter McAuley, 34, then proceeded to wave the weapon around while holding a knife in his other hand.

Unfortunately for him a witness saw him with the weapons and the incident was also captured on CCTV.

McAuley appeared at Falkirk Sheriff Court last Thursday having pleaded guilty to possession of offensive weapons – a machete and a knife – in Castings Avenue, Falkirk on May 19.
