A man has been arrested in connection with an incident in Frome earlier last week.
Police report, “We received reports at about 4.45pm on Monday 5th October that a man was in a property in the Marston Lane area with a weapon, believed to be a machete. A suspected imitation firearm was also reportedly seen.
“A man in his 30s suffered minor injuries. He did not require hospital treatment. Armed officers attended the property but the offender had left before they arrived. The police helicopter was used to assist with a subsequent area search, which proved negative. Officers last night (Tuesday 6th October) arrested a 30-year-old man on suspicion of affray and possession of an imitation firearm with intent to cause fear of violence.”
Adam Seviour, 30, of Marston Lane, was later charged with affray. He was due to appear at Bristol Magistrates Court on Thursday 8th October.
