Jim Mowbray, prosecuting, said police had a tip-off on September 8 and went to the port’s Princess Way where Bailey told officers he had a knife in his pocket.
Bailey said he had drunk four lagers, a bottle of wine and some vodka, but he was not drunk. He added he was on medication for anxiety.
Brett Chappell, defending, said: “He seemingly out of nowhere just snapped. Nothing took place to warrant his behaviour.”
