“Thankfully, no-one was seriously hurt, but this happened in the middle of a residential street, in easy view of other homeowners causing them distress and fear, so we understand how concerned they must have been.
“Those involved are known to each other, so we do not believe there to be a wider risk to the public.
“Anyone found brandishing, using, or threatening another person on our streets will be dealt with swiftly, as we will never tolerate this kind of display of aggression.
