Knife in 'The Tun'

Scotland -- A politician who has campaigned to reduce knife crime in Scotland helped tackle a blade-wielding suspect in a city bar last night.

North East Tory MSP Alex Johnstone called the police after spotting a man carrying a knife with a nine-inch blade in his back pocket in The Tun on Holyrood Road.

The MSP and his Musselburgh-based parliamentary adviser Jim Millar raced out of the pub after the man.

Mr Millar, 39, says that he was confident enough to follow the man because he is professionally trained in martial arts and how to deal with knife carriers.
