One person in the area says: "Just had the police at the door to ask if I saw anything....Man on drugs running around smashing neighbours' windows and stabbing people, but they are not thought to be life-threatening. What a carry-on."
A suspect has been arrested and is in custody awaiting interview. Police say the incident is under control and there is no further threat to the community.
