Police are appealing after three men were seen on motorbikes with what appeared to be machetes in Southampton.
It was reported that the two bikes were driving on the grassy area between International Way and Kingsclere Avenue at around 1.26pm on Saturday afternoon.
No-one is understood to have been injured or threatened by the group.
Officers attended the scene and carried out an extensive area search, however the people involved have not yet been located.
Police have now released CCTV footage and descriptions of those involved in the incident. Two were riding on a large, darkly coloured moped and the third was alone on a small framed black sports type motorbike.
The driver of the first, larger moped is described as initially wearing a black, blue and silver helmet with what appeared to be a black balaclava underneath. He was also wearing a light grey coloured tracksuit and white trainers with a black stripe. He was later seen wearing a black and green helmet.
The passenger on the larger moped is described as wearing a dark, thick jacket with a blue hood underneath and dark trousers. He also appeared to be wearing a balaclava and was later seen wearing the black, blue and silver helmet previously seen on the driver.
The male on the smaller framed bike is described as wearing a black balaclava, dark trousers and dark shoes, as well as a dark jumper with white sleeves and hood.
Anyone with any information or dashcam footage is asked to call Hampshire Constabulary on 101 quoting reference 44220129594, or report online.
