A man armed with "a machete" prompted a huge armed police response in Liverpool.
Merseyside Police and the North West Ambulance Service rushed to Talton Road, just off Lawrence Road in Wavertree, at around 4.20pm on Thursday, June 2. Officers received a 999 call from somebody on the street reporting a man was seen with an "edged weapon" in the street and was making threats.
One eyewitness who lives on the road said they saw a "man with a machete". Moments later dozens of police vehicles including patrol cars, matrix vans, police dog vehicles and armed police arrived at the scene.
