No one was injured.

The man left the business when police were called, before he was arrested on Hindley St, where he had tried to hide the blade under street furniture.

A 45-year-old Kent Town man was charged with carry offensive weapon and given a three-month barring order from the business.

He was expected to be granted police bail on Sunday to face the Adelaide Magistrates Court at a later date.
