(BBC) A man who made “terrifying” threats of violence on a train carriage while carrying a knife has been jailed.
Mohammed Khan caused “unacceptable panic” on the service, which he boarded in Manchester, during an outburst about 9/11 and the Taliban, police said.
Officers arresting the 50-year-old found a knife in his backpack, prompting the evacuation of a station.
Khan, of no fixed address, was jailed for 12 months at Preston Crown Court on Tuesday.
He had earlier pleaded guilty to possessing a bladed article in a public place.
