GUN cops swooped on a Scots street last night after a man allegedly threatened officers with a bladed weapon.
A woman was arrested after a car was involved in a collision with a police vehicle in the alleged incident.
It’s alleged officers tried to stop a car on Church Street at St Andrew’s Court in Blantyre, South Lanarkshire, during a routine patrol.
The collision caused damage to both vehicles.
Police Scotland said the 34-year-old female driver has been arrested in connection with alleged disorder and road traffic offences.
The force said there were no reports of any injuries and there is not believed to be any risk to the wider public.
Cops armed with rifles and body armour were seen gearing up as several roads were closed down.
Officers were reportedly telling residents to stay indoors.
Blantyre councillor Maureen Chalmers said: “It’s been an eventful evening in my wee street.
“Clearly a serious incident which we will hear more about in due course.
“I was really pleased to hear everyone in Terminal One Youth Centre was safe.
“Many thanks to Police Scotland Lanarkshire for significant response and keeping us all safe.”
Terminal One Youth Centre, situated nearby, wrote: “Please note that Terminal One is not part of the ongoing incident tonight. All our young people and staff are fine.”
