A man has been charged after producing a knife in front of a shop worker in Stoke-on-Trent.
James Heath, 47, of Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, has been charged with possession of a knife in a public place.
It comes after we were called at 6.10am on Thursday (29 August) to the Esso garage on Dividy Road, Park Hall, following reports of public order offences.
A man was arrested and a lock knife was later recovered.
He has since been placed on unconditional bail ahead of a court appearance due at North Staffordshire Justice Centre on 12 November.
