\n The 17-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, terrorised residents of a street in Glasgow<\/a>‘s Dalmarnock between November 2023 and October 2024.\n<\/p>\n

\n The teen pleaded guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court<\/a> to a string of charges including behaving in a threatening or abusive manner and possession of a knife in a public place.\n<\/p>\n

\n The court heard that on bonfire night in 2023, the boy confronted neighbour Timothy McArdle outside his home while his young daughter was nearby.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n McArdle asked the teen if he was speaking to him and he replied: “Aye you f***ing dafty, do you want a bit of this?”\n<\/p>\n

\n The boy then removed a machete from a sheath and motioned the blade towards McArdle.\n<\/p>\n

\n When told that his daughter was with him, the teen replied: “I don’t give a f***.”\n<\/p>\n

\n McArdle left the scene and the boy shouted: “Come out, I’m going to do you, you f***ing bam.”\n<\/p>\n

\n The police<\/a> were contacted and the teenager was traced to his home and arrested.\n<\/p>\n

\n The court<\/a> also heard of a later incident in which the boy was seen with a machete smashing the car windows of another neighbour.\n<\/p>\n

\n He was heard to shout: “Get your boy out, you are a grass, your mum is a cow, you will be getting ran out of here.”\n<\/p>\n

\n A 16 and a 17-year-old reported that the teenager followed them then shouted and swore in another incident.\n<\/p>\n

\n He said: “I’m going to slash your f***ing face in.”\n<\/p>\n

\n The boy then brandished a six-inch knife which caused the pair to run off for safety.\n<\/p>\n

\n The teen later told another man to “go back to your own country” and branded his victim a “black b******.”\n<\/p>\n

\n He was also spotted with a knife that evening which he used to stab the tyres on a bike.\n<\/p>\n

\n The court was told of another incident in which he was seen brandishing a knife at a bus stop in the city’s Battlefield.\n<\/p>\n

\n Sentence was deferred pending background reports until next month by Sheriff Joan Kerr who continued the boy’s remand at a children’s unit meantime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 17-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, terrorised residents of a street in Glasgow‘s Dalmarnock between…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":189309,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7826],"tags":[748,918,4884,712,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-342678","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-glasgow","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-glasgow","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-scotland","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115024665193501922","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/342678","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=342678"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/342678\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/189309"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=342678"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=342678"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=342678"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
