Armed police were seen in Parkvale overnight after a report of an alleged assault.

While initial information suggested someone had been assaulted, it turned out to be a small cut to a hand and minor, a police spokesperson said.

The incident on Fraser St was reported about 8.05pm on Friday and an ambulance also attended the job.

One person was taken into custody at 8.30pm and police were not looking for anyone else.

It appeared the people were known to one another.

A resident last night said he saw armed police in Henderson Crescent, an ambulance and several police cars.
