It pays to keep an eye on rising prices at the nation's biggest supermarkets - as we've discovered this week. Prices have risen on minced beef at Aldi - and that has had an unexpected knock-on effect over at Sainsbury's.
Man brandished machete in park full of children and then threw bricks at group of bikers... but avoids jail
15.08.2022 - 21:15 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
An Oldham man, who brandished a machete as children played in a park and threw bricks towards a group of bikers, has avoided jail. Zackary Mercer-Barlow was also using a ‘rubber axe’ to chop at trees during the ‘psychotic episode'.
The 28-year-old was initially spotted by three bikers, as he walked towards Asda in Huddersfield Road on May 15, prosecution barrister Helena Williams told Minshull Street Crown Court. Mercer-Barlow was holding a hoodie in his right hand and pulled out a ‘18-inch blade machete', which he waved at the group.
One of the group reported the incident to Asda staff, who called police, and Mercer-Barlow made his way to a local park. While there, he ‘smacked trees and bins’ with the weapon, as children played nearby.

As he left, he was seen by the group of bikers ‘throwing his hands in the air’. One of the bikers thought that he was ‘goading’ them but could not hear what was being said due to wearing a helmet and a headset.
Mercer-Barlow then swung a rubber axe at trees on a footpath, Ms Williams told the court. He then ran at the bikers and they drove away to Top Street.
As one of the men warned residents about Mercer-Barlow’s behaviour, he felt something hit him on the shoulder, which had cut through his clothing and caused a minor injury. As they fled along Redgrave Street, Mercer-Barlow threw bricks at the group but missed, instead damaging two parked cars.
Mercer-Barlow, of Mere Close, Greenfield, was arrested at around 4.50pm but had got rid of his weapons by the time police arrived. He pleaded guilty to affray and two counts of possessing a bladed article.
