Man in knife threat to gardaí

A MAN brandishing three carving knives threatened officers in the public office of a garda station.

The 37-year-old walked in to Carlow Garda Station early on Tuesday. He had the three knives in his hands and began screaming at the gardaí on duty.

A member of the public who was in the office fled as the man, who is said to have been in a highly agitated state, walked in.
