A GREENOCK man has been charged with poking a knife towards people through his letterbox.

Hallidi Omar, 34, is also said to have shouted, swore and threatened two women and a man during the alleged incident.

Prosecutors say Omar later acted aggressively towards a second man whilst in possession of a pole.

The alleged offences are said to have been committed within a common close on Trafalgar Street on January 24.

Omar, who is currently remanded in custody, is also accused of breaching a bail condition to stay away from a named woman and failing to provide his name and other details to police.

He has pleaded not guilty at the sheriff court through lawyer David Tod.

The case is due to call again in June.
