A man who was thrown out of a restaurant later returned brandishing a chainsaw because he hadn't finished his dessert.

Petr Svacha, 36, had been dining in the restaurant in Zlin, Czech Republic, with a friend. He was asked to leave at closing time, but then returned, claiming he wanted to finish his pudding.

Police spokesman Ales Mergental said: "He sliced a hole in the door, climbed inside and went to his table, but when he grabbed the half-finished desert he was overpowered by a waiter and handed over to police."

Svacha now faces up to a year in prison.
