A man who carried a toy gun and three knives has been warned to expect a prison sentence.

Stephen Ross, 36, of Fairfield Lane, Wolverley, pleaded guilty to possession of an imitation firearm with intent to cause fear of violence.

He also admitted at Worcester Crown Court to having a butterfly knife and two lock knives in Teme Avenue, Kidderminster, and assaulting a woman by battery.

Ross denied further charges of making a threat to kill and indecent assault.

Prosecutor Alex Warren said his pleas were acceptable to the Crown.

Judge John Cavell granted Ross bail for a pre-sentence report to be prepared but added: "Those in possession of weapons commit serious offences which are normally punishable by custody."
