A Sunningdale resident who threatened another man with a sword has been ordered to do community service.

Alexander Sedgemore, 21, of Station Road, appeared before Reading Magistrates' Court on December 19 last year.

He pleaded guilty to threatening a person with an offensive weapon.

This was in connection with an incident on August 10, 2023.

At his own home, the defendant threatened another man with a sword.

Magistrates handed Sedgemore a community order.

He will be required to carry out up to 15 days of rehabilitation activities.

In addition, he will have to pay £120 in court costs, and a £114 victim surcharge.

The sword will be forfeited and destroyed.
