A drunk thug chased a group of teenagers with an axe who he claimed were ‘harassing him’.
Aiden Broadhurst, 27, was seen ‘shouting’ at the youths before going into his house and emerging with something ‘small’ in his hand, causing the group to run off.
He then returned back to his house and produced a large axe, Minshull Street Crown Court heard.

“The defendant began shouting at the youths saying they should give him money or “I will f***ing shoot you”.
The group then ran off, the court heard.
