A TEENAGER robbed and threatened another person with a knife and attacked police officers in Hereford.

The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, entered guilty pleas when he appeared before magistrates in Hereford.

The court heard he had threatened another person with a knife in such a way that there was an immediate risk of serious physical harm being caused to that person in the grounds of Hereford Leisure Pool in St Martin's Street, and robbed them of a vape, tobacco, cigarette papers and filters on May 29.
