Coun Cummings said: "Police were called when the Iceland store at Wakefield reported a drunken male was threatening people outside.

"The male had removed his shirt and appeared to be threatening anyone who crossed his path.

"An operator quickly identified the well-known offender and reported him to the police.

"Police attended quickly as there was already an outstanding warrant for his arrest."
