UPDATE: Police make arrest after 'machete' incident
POLICE have reopened a residential street after an incident believed to have involved a man with a machete.
A man was spotted with a large bladed weapon in Pegasus Road on Oxford's Blackbird Leys estate at about 3pm today [Sunday].
A number of police officers were called to the scene, with dog handlers also attending the incident.
The road was closed off to traffic while officers brought the situation under control.
