Officers in Scarborough say they were called to attend an incident close to Dean Road on Wednesday where it had been reported that youths had been fighting, potentially with a hammer being used.
Scarborough Police say:
"We are aware that a lot of residents may have been affected, whether this is by the visits made during the Police investigation, or those who saw the incident.
When officers attended at around 1:30pm, the youths ran from officers, sparking foot chases and area searches.
Those involved were swiftly gathered up and arrests made.
We have spoken to witnesses and have obtained CCTV. An area of William Street Coach Park was also cordoned off until the evening whilst Crime Scene Examiners gathered evidence.
We would like to thank the public who have assisted with this investigation, and we want to reassure our residents that this was a dispute amongst a group, there are no other concerns in the wider neighbourhood."
