A WOMAN was threatened with an axe in Barnsley town centre on Tuesday morning.
Officers were called to Bridge Street, Barnsley, at 9.20am following report that a man had been threatened by an armed man.
A police spokesperson told the Chronicle: “Kelham Hendley, 30, was arrested after we responded to reports that a woman had been threatened with a weapon outside a property on Bridge Street at around 9.20am.
“On Wednesday, he was charged with three offences - threatening a person with an offensive weapon, possession of an offensive weapon and common assault.

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
