Teenager arrested after boys reportedly threatened with machete in Bridgwater
A 15 year old remains in police custody
A 15-year-old has been arrested after two teenagers were reportedly threatened with a machete in Bridgwater.
Officers were called around 6pm on Saturday (3rd June) after receiving reports of a machete being spotted.
Police say they're aware of footage online showing a child running through the town with the weapon.
No injuries have been reported.
A 15-year-old was arrested later that same evening, and remains in police custody.
PCSO Supervisor Lora Bray said: “This is a concerning incident but I hope people are reassured by this prompt arrest. I’d ask that you don’t share footage of this incident on social media, as it could compromise our ongoing investigation.
There'll be an increased police presence in Bridgwater while enquiries continue.
