Cops chased by knifeman after stopping car

COURT REPORTER

- 

Police officers "feared for their lives" when a car passenger chased them while brandishing a hunting knife.

Jordan Bonner threatened to stab the frightened cops because they'd taken the keys from the driver.

They threw back the keys when he cornered them in St Andrew's Court, Blantyre.

Bonner eventually fled the scene on foot after realising a police vehicle had blocked his car's exit.

The 23-year-old appeared at Hamilton Sheriff Court this week. He admitted threatening two PCs on March 27 last year.

Co-accused Natalie McGlame, 36, of St Andrew’s Court, walked free from court.

Her not guilty pleas to charges that she reversed towards one of the PCs and rammed the police car were accepted.
