A Wigan teenager has admitted threatening a man with a machete and possessing an imitation firearm.

The 17-year-old boy - who cannot be named due to his age - threatened the man in Bolton on January 7, making him believe there was an immediate risk of physical harm.

He also had an imitation firearm - a black BB gun - which caused the same man to fear violence.
