The Queen's life has been endangered because of a man possessing a pickaxe. 34-year old man charged with carrying an axe while the Queen was ready to walk in public.
An unamed 34 year old suspect has been charged because he was carrying a pickaxe on Thursday. He was seen with an axe near St George's Square in Huddersfield. This is the location where the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh were scheduled to make a public appearance. He was charged with the possession, which led police to believe that his intentions were not right.
The reason for carrying the axe is unknown, but police suspected him because he was seen in the crowd, acting odd. This instinct led to the man's arrest on Thursday afternoon. He will now face charges in Huddersfield Magistrates' Court on the 1st of June.
