A man from Yatton will be sentenced next month after admitting entering a home with a meat cleaver and making threats to kill.
Robert Cates, from Stowey Road, appeared before Bristol Magistrates Court on Monday (May 11) where he was remanded in custody.
On Friday (May 8), the 37-year-old entered the home of a man in Yatton while holding a knife and meat cleaver.
Cates then held a weapon to the man’s throat and made threats to him and another man, saying the drinks the pair were having would be their last.
Firearms officers were dispatched to the property in Mendip Road shortly after 7pm.

Cates was arrested at the scene and would go on to plead guilty to affray and making a threat to kill.
Avon and Somerset Constabulary has said he also pleaded guilty to a second count of making a threat to kill after he told someone living in Stowey Road on March 31 that he would burn down their home.
DC Richard Worrin said: “The quick work of firearms officers on the bank holiday brought a highly dangerous situation to a peaceful conclusion without anybody getting seriously hurt.”
Cates will be sentenced at Bristol Crown Court on Wednesday, June 10.
