Referring to the victim s statement, Mr Newman said: “He was on a bench rolling a cigarette and I could see he was high and his eyes were bloodshot. “Through at the time he seemed quite calm, but one second later he was called me a slag then apologised to me. “Suddenly out of nowhere, he said ‘f this s ’ and pulled out a knife from his trousers. “I stood still and I was in shock and my daughter screamed and ran away. “My partner pushed me away and asked him (Minty) to drop the knife. He put a jumper on it to ensure he didn’t get his prints on it.”
