YOUNG men who fought each other with knives in front of terrified shoppers at Nottingham’s Victoria Centre carried on their feud in the cells at Nottingham Crown Court.

A hearing was told how Kyron MacGregor and Tyeece Richardson pulled out fearsome-looking blades as people watched on at 3.30pm inside the centre.

After fleeing and being arrested, a video on McGregor’s phone showed him playing with the knife and boasting about it just the day before. And as he was jailed for 18 months, a judge told him that if he carries on producing weapons his sentences are “just going to get longer”.

Judge Stuart Rafferty KC said: "As I said to your co-defendant (when I sentenced him to the same jail term), when will people ever learn? There is utterly no justification for people wandering around the town, this town or any town, carrying knives.
