Disturbing images have quietly captured a schoolboy a playground while he uses a huge knife while terrified students watch.
The police accelerated on Monday afternoon to Reddish Vale High in stockport after reports from the 12-year-old boy who waved in the knife.
In clips of the incident that is shared online on a large scale, students can be heard to scream: “What are you doing man?” And “Why do you have a knife?”
Nervous giggles are audible because the boy, who cannot be called for legal reasons, brings energetic progress.
A 12-year-old was arrested and custody, the police confirmed later.
Since then he has been accused of attempting to assault, possession of an article with magazines, which threatens a person with an offensive weapon and possession of an attacking weapon in a public place.
The boy appeared on the Salford Youth Court and argued guilty of various violations, including attempted injury, possession of an attacking weapon in school building and a person with a weapon at school buildings threatening.
District judge Lucy Hogarth said in court: 'Even at the young age of 12 you know that someone could have been very seriously injured or killed.

“If you are 12, you may not know how long people are expected and that school must be a safe place for people.”
The boy was released on bail and will be convicted on March 25.
Parents of children at the school say that the incident follows a similar situation last week when a student was threatened with a knife near school grounds.
A worried parent told The Manchester Evening News that they will not send their children back to the lesson until they are 'reassured that our children are safe'.
Another mother, whose son is in year 7, said she is not considering allowing her child to be present for the rest of the week and could even register him in another school.
A parent who shared the images of the scene online said she was asked by the school to get it down, but answered: 'I don't have the right to know that their children are safe when they go to school Going and clear that they are not. '
A local told the sun from their disgust at the boy's bail and that the area has since been in 'Panic'.
They added: “We thought he was locked up and stopped in custody.”
A spokesperson for Stockport Borough Council said: 'We are aware of the painful incident that took place earlier today at the Reddish Vale School and we understand the concerns that are shared by parents, students and the wider community.
'The police were on site to tackle the incident and make the school safe and we are grateful that no one has been damaged.
“We work closely with the school to support them and want to reassure everyone that the safety of students and teachers is our highest priority.”
The police have assured that residents of 'extra patrols' must be placed in the area.
