Police arrested an American tourist who admitted to openly carrying a knife on a British beachfront.
The man had reportedly been as he sunbathing in Herne Bay on Thursday when locals reported to Kent Police that he was carrying a knife.
The American reportedly told officers he came from an open-carry state in the US, claiming he had the blade for protection and was unaware he could not carry it in public in the UK.
After being arrested on suspicion of possessing a knife, he was handed a community resolution where British law around knife crime was “fully explained to him”, police said.

It is believed the tourist had picked up the steak knife from the kitchen of his rental property close to the coastline on Thursday April 3.
