An Oldham man, who brandished a machete as children played in a park and threw bricks towards a group of bikers, has avoided jail.
Zackary Mercer-Barlow was also using a ‘rubber axe’ to chop at trees during the ‘psychotic episode'. The 28-year-old was initially spotted by three bikers, as he walked towards Asda in Huddersfield Road on May 15, prosecution barrister Helena Williams told Minshull Street Crown Court.
Mercer-Barlow was holding a hoodie in his right hand and pulled out a ‘18-inch blade machete', which he waved at the group. One of the group reported the incident to Asda staff, who called police, and Mercer-Barlow made his way to a local park.
While there, he ‘smacked trees and bins’ with the weapon, as children played nearby. READ MORE : Benjamin Mendy was 'predator' who raped women in his mansion 'with special locking doors', court hears As he left, he was seen by the group of bikers ‘throwing his hands in the air’.
