Richard Cattley tweeted: "A man has just ran past me in Rotherham town centre wielding a machete covered in blood shouting move!! Police everywhere!" He later told the BBC: "I was walking towards the market, I heard a guy shout 'move move'. "I turned around and saw a man running towards me. I moved out of the way and spotted that he had a 12-inch machete in his hand that he wasn't trying to conceal. "A lady said we should call the police. She said 'there was blood on that knife'. The nearby builders said the same. I didn't see the blood. "Police caught up with him near Tesco." Ben Shepherd tweeted: "Lunatic running through Tesco, Rotherham brandishing a huge knife, frightened the life out of our secretary. Taken out by 10 police & taser." So sad the shopkeeper has died Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bypassblade Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 This is both sad & terrible, RIP to the person dead, but it seems to be becoming a normal everyday thing now to hear of murder; that is a sad indictment on our country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
