Robert Yates, prosecuting, said she returned home later that day with a neighbour's relative and Lawrence was waiting in the street.

The man approached the defendant and Lawrence threw an energy drink can at him, causing a cut nose.

Lawrence then pulled a blade out of his pocket, waved it around and said: "Come on old man."

Mr Yates said Lawrence continued to goad the man. Before running away, Lawrence said: "I will be back with the boys in 20 minutes.

"I am going kill you all."

The court heard Lawrence turned up at his former partner's home on July 28 and made threats after becoming angry about not being able to see his daughter.

Six children were inside the house at the time when Lawrence banged and kicked the front door.
