A MAN has appeared in court following an incident on a Netherton pub car park.

Police were called to The Woodman in Saltwells Road ‪at around 8.45pm‬ on Sunday (May 6) after receiving reports that a car had collided with a fence and a man was waving a knife at members of the public.

Alan Joyce was arrested at the scene and later charged with two counts of possessing a knife in a public place, three counts of criminal damage - amounting to £3,600 - and two counts of affray.
