A MUSSELBURGH man was caught carrying three blades after becoming involved in an incident outside an Edinburgh pub.

Gavin Inkster behaved in a threatening or abusive manner and threatened to stab a man near to the CC Blooms pub in the Capital’s city centre earlier this year.

During the incident in January, it was found that Inkster was in possession of two knives and a blade.

Inkster, of Delta Road, admitted the two amended charges when he appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court last Tuesday. Sheriff Michael O’Grady deferred sentence to November 20.

Inkster, 28, admitted behaving in a threatening or abusive manner and threatening to stab a man outside CC Blooms, Edinburgh, on January 27.

He also admitted being in possession of two knives and a blade during the same incident.
