Later, Reilly was drinking in another pub when Woodley walked in and attacked him.

“Reilly again pulled the machete from his waistband and chased Woodley back into the busy pub garden,” police said.

Officers arrested the pair in the beer garden.

At an earlier hearing at Grimsby Crown Court, Reilly, who was of no fixed abode, pleaded guilty to affray and possession of a bladed article and was sentenced to 10 months in prison.

Woodley, of no fixed abode, also pleaded guilty to affray and possession of a bladed article and was sentenced to 10 months in prison.

Det Con Scott Massey said: “Reilly and Woodley are violent individuals who caused extensive damage in a public place while innocent bystanders tried to enjoy their night out at the local pub.

‘Reilly left the house that day armed with a machete with the intention of using it at every opportunity he was given. Woodley then quickly responded with a violent vendetta in a public place.”
