A woman has described seeing a man brandishing a "huge" knife outside the Odeon in Harrogate last night.
Pub chef Chloe Horner had just got home from work when her partner alerted her to a man with a blade several inches long outside the cinema at about midnight.
Ms Horner said she saw the incident clearly from her kitchen window and observed the man standing motionless holding the knife.
She said another man, who walked by and was threatened, called the police.
By the time the police arrived, the person with the knife had walked off in the direction of Asda, she added.
Ms Horner said police, including armed officers and officers with dogs, were at the scene for about an hour but she does not know if any arrests were made.
By the time they arrived the man, who she said was wearing a dirty brown hoodie and joggers, had walked off.
The Stray Ferret has approached North Yorkshire Police for details.
