Two men have been arrested in connection with an incident where a man was threatened with a knife and a hammer.
Police are appealing for witnesses after a man was reportedly approached and verbally abused by two men armed with weapons in Milnsbridge on Sunday, December 7, 2014.
The offence happened at noon outside Café Central in Yates Lane.
One of the men is alleged to have been carrying a hammer and the other a knife which they have gestured towards the victim while making verbal threats.
The men drove off in a silver Audi which had been parked on the road blocking traffic.
A man aged 27 from Dewsbury and a man aged 28 from Milnsbridge, have been arrested on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon in a public place and a public order offence.
PC Bronwyn Carter, of Kirklees Rural Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “The investigation is being progressed without the support of the victim therefore we need anyone who witnessed this incident to come forward.
“The threats are reported to have been made outside a café which had a number of customers inside and we are keen to speak to any of these people.
“We are also keen to speak to anyone who saw two men parking up or driving away in a silver Audi.
