Stick and axe wielded in dispute between men over not sharing Doritos

An argument over Doritos escalated to the point where a man threatened another with a stick before his companion then threatened him with an axe, police in Australia's Northern Territory say.

Duty Superintendent Louise Jorgensen said police were called to a disturbance near the Darwin Post Office at around 2:00pm on Sunday. "Two males began arguing about a packet of Doritos. Apparently one was not sharing," Superintendent Jorgensen said.
 


Superintendent Jorgensen said one of the men picked up a stick and threatened the other. "The other male then casually got up, strolled over to a witch's hat, lifted it up and grabbed an axe which had been hidden underneath," she said. "He then walked straight towards the other male threatening to hit him."

She said Transit Safety Officers then asked the man to drop the weapon. "When he refused they approached and tackled him to the ground. They held him until police arrived and executed the arrest," she said. Superintendent Jorgensen said the man was charged with threatening behaviour and going armed in public.
