Scarborough Police are appealing for help from residents in the Westway and Manham Hill areas of Eastfield after an incident last night.
North Yorkshire Police say that officers were called out shortly after 11pm last night to an address on Westway.
Officers say :
"It was reported to us that a man had a machete. As officers attended, a number of men ran from the address. One man was stopped by officers nearby and arrested.
A second man was seen to attend another address in Eastfield. We secured the property, placed a cordon for the safety of the community, and engaged with the resident of the address through a police negotiator. Following a stand-off, we identified the second man and arrested him.
A machete has been recovered following searches in the area.
There was a large police presence in Eastfield in relation to this incident, to allow us to keep our residents safe and to locate the offenders.
We are making enquiries to locate and arrest a third man involved in the incident."
