A police officer has been injured while confronting a man wielding two machetes near a Glasgow school.
The suspect was spotted in Hill Street in the city centre after officers responded to reports of a disturbance on Friday morning.
Witnesses reported seeing a man wearing a balaclava near the private school St Aloysius College and the Glasgow School of Art.
He reportedly threatened a lollipop man and tried to attack a janitor.
Glasgow School of Art said the janitor had been left "shaken, but unharmed" after confronting the man.
A spokeswoman said: "The Glasgow School of Art can confirm that a member of our staff did encounter the individual described, whilst parking his car near to a GSA building."
Police said a man had been arrested and no members of the public were believed to have been injured.
"One officer sustained a minor injury during the arrest," a spokesman said.
"Inquiries are ongoing to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident."
