Two teenagers have been arrested after a boy was attacked with a sword in Tuffley, police said.
Police were called at about 8.50am on Friday following reports that two males - one brandishing a sword - had been seen chasing two 17-year-old boys.
One of the boys sustained a "superficial wound", Gloucestershire Constabulary said.
Armed police attended the scene, near St Peter's High School, to search for the suspect, but they had already fled.
"It was reported that two males, one who was in possession of a sword, had been seen chasing two boys," the force said.
"The suspects then fled from the scene on foot."
A 19-year-old man was arrested overnight on suspicion of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and affray, police said.
Meanwhile, an 18-year-old man handed himself into police early on Saturday and was arrested on suspicion of possessing an offensive weapon, assault and affray.
Both men remain in police custody, while a woman arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender has been released on bail.
