A 38-year-old man has been jailed for possessing a kitchen knife and a brick in a public place.

Lorenzo Paul Brown, of Church Hill Road in Walthamstow, appeared at Thames Magistrates’ Court charged with two drug offences and two counts of possessing an offensive weapon.

He was handed two eight-week sentences, to run concurrently, for the offences in Selbourne Road, Walthamstow, on October 6.

On the same day he was found with amphetamines and heroin.

He pleaded guilty to all four charges.

No separate penalty was given for the drug offences as his guilty plea was taken into account.
