STAFF and customers at a pub were left terrified after a drunken and aggressive troublemaker brandished two knives and made threats to kill them, a court heard.
He warned a door supervisor: "I'm going to stab you. I'm going to stab anybody else that gets in my way. Come and get it."
He also yelled: "I'm going to bomb this place" and warned them: "Anyone inside is going to get it."
Paul Caldecott, 29, of Strand Street, Grimsby, admitted two offences of affray and another of possessing knives on October 6.
Gordon Stables, prosecuting, told Grimsby Crown Court that Caldecott became very aggressive while at the pub.
His ex-girlfriend tried to calm him down at Cottees Bar, Freeman Street, Grimsby, and door supervisor Ronald Wilkinson told him to leave.
Caldecott went outside, shouting and screaming, and punched the shutters of nearby premises.
He tried to get back inside Cottees but Mr Wilkinson refused him entry because he had drunk too much and was aggressive.
Mr Wilkinson pulled him away from the door but Caldecott shouted: "I'm going to bomb this place. You're going to get it. Anyone inside is going to get it."
He was swearing and very aggressive and Mr Wilkinson feared he was going to get hurt.
Caldecott walked down Strand Street but returned after 11pm with a carving knife in each hand.
He warned Mr Wilkinson: "I'm going to stab you. I'm going to stab anybody else that gets in my way. Come and get it."
Mr Wilkinson was in fear of getting stabbed, said Mr Stables.
Caldecott was arrested on October 16.
His convictions included an offence of wounding and possessing an offensive weapon from March 2006 at the same court. He had been spared prison that day.
During that incident, he pushed a glass into the face of another man, the court heard.
He also had an assault conviction from October 2011, involving a partner.
Richard Hackfath, mitigating, said they were serious offences but Caldecott claimed he had little recollection of them because he was drunk at the time.
"He has stopped drinking since the offences altogether," said Mr Hackfath.
"He armed himself to make himself appear more threatening than he, in fact, is."
Caldecott had shown remorse and regret.
Judge Mark Bury told Caldecott: "Your behaviour was totally out of control."
Caldecott was jailed for 11 months. He was given an indefinite restraining order, banning him from contacting anyone at Cottees.
