A Bolton man told another man he would "f**king kill" him as he brandished two knives outside his house. Anthony Oakley, aged 30, accosted an acquaintance outside his house in Tonge Moor on January 12 this year. Oakley, of Highwood Close, Breightmet , appeared at the house with "blood on his face and hands" initially holding one knife before pulling out another.
He was sentenced at Bolton Crown Court on May 24 for threatening with a blade in a public place. Prosecuting, Sophie Kenny said: "On January 12 this year, around 10pm, the defendant attended the complainant's address and threatened to stab him. "The complainant was sat on the sofa watching television when he heard three loud bangs on the door.
He drew the curtain and didn't recognise the man, and shrugged his arms as if to say 'who are you'. "As his eyes adjusted, he saw it was Oakley, who he had known for years. He saw him carrying a knife at waist height.
"Worryingly, there was blood on Mr Oakley's face and hands. The complainant describes Oakley banging on the window and telling him to come outside whilst threatening to stab him, in front of his children." Oakley then said to the complainant: "I'm going to f***'ing kill you boy, I'm going to f***'ing kill ya.
" Ms Kenny added: "He called the police on the phone, and noticed he had produced a second knife in his right hand. "Officers were in an adjoining street so very quickly arrived at the scene." Police saw Oakley holding a "large knife"before he made off "towards.
