Harvey Bartle, 21, was remanded in custody after being accused of threatening violence with a knife on Sheringham High Street.

Harvey Bartle, 21, of Temple Road in Norwich, has been remanded in custody accused of threatening violence while armed with a knife on Sheringham High Street on 17 October. He is alleged to have threatened unlawful violence towards occupants of a car including a woman and child, and also to have used a knife to threaten a man during the same incident on the popular shopping street.

Bartle pleaded not guilty to affray and threatening a person with a blade in a public place. He was on bail for separate offences at the time, subject to a night-time curfew. He elected for his case to be heard at Norwich Crown Court, with a preliminary trial preparation hearing scheduled for 16 November.

Bartle's defence argued that he had reacted to a knife being pulled on him and that he was armed with a knife sheath rather than an actual blade. He denied being in breach of his bail conditions but was found guilty of the breach after magistrates were told he had been arrested 27 miles from his home minutes before his 7pm curfew.
