This is Derbyshire --ARMED police swooped on a Derby street after a man was heard making death threats.
People living in Finsley Walk, off Caxton Street, said a fight broke out between two men at about 9pm on Thursday night.
One witness said the dispute was over claims of an affair. The brawl ended without police intervening.
But, at 11.30am yesterday, the men began arguing again.
Neighbours called the police as one of the men was heard shouting: "I'm going to kill you."
A dog was also used in the confrontation and one of the men was thought to have had a knife.
Soon afterwards, "seven or eight" police cars arrived, along with a paramedic vehicle, and the police helicopter was also dispatched. Last night, a police spokeswoman said that a man and a woman at one house suffered minor hand injuries but did not require medical treatment.
The spokeswoman said that no arrests had been made but added that a suspect had run off and that officers were still trying to find him.
She said: "It is thought that one of the men had a knife and so armed officers were sent to the scene as a matter of course.
"Inquiries are ongoing to trace one of the men involved."
Stunned residents watched the drama from their windows.
One said: "First there was a fight last night. I heard a scream but no gun shots or anything.
"It didn't seem that serious and then, at about 11.50am, a load of police cars came. I could see that a dog was there and the dispute was between two men.
"The police response seemed a bit over the top but then they will know more about it then us."
The incident took place round the corner from where 15-year-old Kadeem Blackwood was shot dead in 2008 in a gang dispute.
Neighbours said that gang violence had fallen in recent years but that police were often in the area.
Anyone with information about the neighbour dispute is asked to call police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Reported by This is 1 day ago.
