A knife-wielding boxer made threats to passers-by and stopped traffic near Telford town centre in a "frightening" late night incident.Zeon Lavender, aged 30, brandished the weapon on Brunel Road as a friend of his was fighting with another man.
"One of the males was waving his arms and holding a knife," said John Brotherton, prosecuting. The man with the knife was Lavender. He was arrested and taken to the nearby Malinsgate police station, where he admitted"we had something on us," but said:"It doesn't mean we use it. We drop it and fight like men."
The prosecution accepted Lavender's basis of plea, in which he said he did not take the knife to the incident, and simply picked it up off the floor and brandished it.
