A man has been jailed after waving a Samurai sword and a large machete in a terrifying incident.

Shortly after 6pm on the 24^th of January, Jordan Brame had drunk a litre of vodka before frightening members of the public by chasing them and threatening them with the weapons on Saffron Drive in Bradford.

The police received eight calls from people concerned that saw Brame with the weapons.

Armed police were sent to the incident and the police helicopter scrambled. A woman at the scene pointed out the discarded weapons in a garden.

Prosecutor Camille Morland told the court that Brame and an accomplice broke into the Bradford flat where the woman lived with her young child. A brick was hurled through a window and the property was ransacked, with drawers thrown on the floor and broken glass strewn around. A gold ring had been stolen, along with a silver bracelet of great sentimental value and a pair of training shoes. The bracelet was returned to her but the ring was never recovered.

Brame, 21, of West End, Queensbury, Bradford, pleaded guilty to two offences of possession of an offensive weapon and to burgling his ex-partner’s home in Bradford earlier that afternoon.

Judge Recorder David Kelly, jailed Brame for 20 months for the burglary and four months, to run consecutively, for possession of the offensive weapons.
