Police said today they are taking no further action against a teenager arrested following reports of a man brandishing a knife outside the Odeon in Harrogate.
Pub chef Chloe Horner told the Stray Ferret she saw a man holding a “huge” knife outside the cinema after she got home from work at about midnight on Saturday night.
She said the man walked off in the direction of Asda after another man, who walked by and was threatened, called the police.
A North Yorkshire Police spokesman said today:
“I can confirm a 19-year-old man was arrested in relation to this incident on Saturday night. The man has since been released from police custody and faces no further action.
“We have nothing further to add at this time.”
According to Ms Horner, armed officers attended the scene. She said:
“It’s crazy. You don’t expect to see that in Harrogate”.
