These are the chilling moments a thug is captured on a cameraphone threatening terrified passers-by with a huge carving knife. Liam Parrish wields the blade in a park in Peterborough as a witness captures this graphic example of knife crime at its most terrifying.
Parrish is shown brandishing the knife and screaming ‘I'll stab the lot of you’ and ‘I'll stab you right in the neck’.
One image shows Parrish threatening a blonde girl with the blade during the incident.
Parrish approached two separate groups during the outburst, both in the park to celebrate birthdays.
His friend Josh Budd is also seen running at the cameraman, staring down the lens with the knife in his hand.
Parrish, 23, and co-defendant Budd, 19, both from Peterborough, were jailed for 12 months for the incident.
A third defendant, Tai Burrows, 22, from Oakham, Rutland, was given a suspended 12 week jail term.
All three were sentenced on April 28 at Peterborough Crown Court - but footage of the incident has only recently come to light.
Charles Kellett, prosecuting, said the knife had come from a barbecue that 18-year-old Luke Sansby was having with friends in Ferry Meadows park in Peterborough, and had been picked up by Parrish during a scuffle.
He added that in addition to the use of a knife, bottles were thrown between the groups using the park.
The incident came to an end when Mr Sansby suffered a badly broken jaw, which required surgeons to insert metal plates into his face. Read More
