Leicester disorder: Man admits making threat to kill

(BBC) A man has been given a conditional discharge after he was arrested as police tried to prevent violence between groups in a Leicester street.

Arslan Ibrahim was detained during a confrontation in Harrison Road, Belgrave, on 7 September.

The 28-year-old, of Canon Street, Leicester, admitted making a threat to kill when he appeared at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on Friday.
