Myleene Klass bemused at not being able to threaten people with knives
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 12 January 2010
Myleene Klass is apparently “bemused” after she was warned by police for waving a knife at youths who trespassed in her garden. The singer turned presenter was in her kitchen when she spotted a group of teenagers on her property, and grabbed a knife and banged on her windows, which evidently encouraged the young miscreants to run away. Hertfordshire Police have informed Klass that she perpetrated an illegal act in brandishing an “offensive weapon”, even though she was behind glass.
Klass’s spokesman Jonathan Shalit said his client had been “utterly terrified”, and added: “Myleene was aghast when she was told that the law did not allow her to defend herself at home. All she did was scream loudly and wave the knife to try and frighten them off. She is not looking to be a vigilante, and has the utmost respect for the law, but when the police explained to her that even if you’re at home alone and you have an intruder, you are not allowed to protect yourself, she was bemused”.
