”He came towards me with knives in his hands and then asked me for the keys,” Kipling told 9News.

“I said no, I think I shut down a little bit, I kind of went, ‘no mate, not happening’.

“At some point during that he nicked my hand with one of the knives.”

Comeagain was seen leaving Coles with knives he had allegedly stolen.

Gymgoers at the nearby Snap Fitness watched as the 39-year-old stopped traffic before apparently hitting nearby cars with bricks.

Continuing on to Kimberly Street, he allegedly threatened two residents with a knife and a wooden beam.

Annette Hasluck said the whole street was cordoned off, with multiple police officers on the scene.

Comeagain was found hiding in a carport on Woolwich Street.

Officers swarmed and a negotiator was called in, in an attempt to talk the man down.

His alleged rampage lasted more than two hours.

Comeagain, who is facing a string of charges, was remanded in custody and is next due to appear in court on October 9.

In an appearance today, he told the court “I just want to go home”.

He was denied bail, with a magistrate saying the allegations against him were too serious.
