A FATHER-of-two, wielding a knife and baton, confronted a couple during a terrifying road-rage incident in the city.

- By MARTIN NAYLOR martin.naylor@reachplc.com

Keeran Rolls “reversed at speed” before getting out of his vehicle armed with what a judge called a “fearsome-looking knife” following an incident in Carlton Hill.

The 32-year-old told the driver “you think you're big with your girlfriend?” before getting back in and driving away.

At Nottingham Crown Court, he was told he could face a jail term of up to 18 months if he gets into any more trouble between now and then. Deferring the sentence for six months, Recorder Balraj Bhatia KC said: “What you did was totally disproportionate to the circumstances.

“You drove at some speed, causing the victim, who was driving in the opposite direction, to pull over so you could have the right of way.
