A Wriggle and Rhyme session at Te Atatū Peninsula Library in Auckland was disrupted today after a man behaving erratically dropped a knife just a metre from babies and their parents.

According to a report in legacy media, the man, who made disturbing comments and began dancing and yelling, briefly left the knife on the floor before retrieving it and continuing to act aggressively outside the locked library.

Police were called and arrested the man after a brief chase.

The council confirmed the man will be trespassed and praised staff for their swift response.

  1. Meth, ‘P’ or Coke at work in the far North??
    After all, it must be OK if European ‘Leaders’ and others snort a row or two,…and then tried to hide the same!

    • A leisurely stroll thru a car wash works wonders…especially when the brushes are fully operational.
