A member of the public had a knife pulled on them at the weekend when they attempted to intervene as a group of people enticed a seagull into their car with a bag of chips.
Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond said police were called to the carpark of a Fresh Choice at Green Island, where occupants of a car had been feeding chips to seagulls, eventually enticing one into the car.
“As a result, another motorist in the carpark told them to ‘cut it out’,” Bond said.
The occupants of that car got out and challenged the intervening stranger, and pulled a knife on them.
Bond said police who attended located the occupants of that car, and after speaking with them invoked a search without warrant and recovered the knife.
