ARMED officers were seen at East Kilbride after a "gang in balaclavas" were reportedly seen wielding axes through a residential street.
At around 1.15pm on Saturday, February 15, police received a report of a man with a "bladed weapon" getting into a car on Teal Crescent before colliding with another vehicle.
The eyewitness, who was walking their dog at the time, told Glasgow Live: "When the driver realised it was a dead end he drove up a path knocking a fence down and driving over people’s gardens.
"Men in balaclavas and carrying axes then exited a vehicle and chased the guy in the car."
Police Scotland says the individual who collided with a car on Teal Crescent made off along with the other occupants.
Enquiries are now ongoing to trace them.
