A MAN has pulled a knife and threatened to “stab to death” a group of school children while he walked by a primary school in Moe yesterday.

Police were called to a primary school on Elizabeth Street following reports of a suspicious man with a knife.

Investigators have been told a group of children were playing and laughing in the school grounds when the man walked past about 2pm.

It appears the man believed the children were laughing at him and subsequently produced a knife and threatened them, before walking off west on Elizabeth Street.

An anonymous source claimed the man said to the children, “I’ll f****** stab you to death”.

Police attended and spoke with staff.

The investigation remains ongoing.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
