Police were called to East Street shortly before 10am on Friday following reports of a man ‘threatening’ construction workers with a sword.
Armed police were called in but local officers Acting Sergeant Graham Briant and PC Paul Harvey were first on the scene.
AS Briant said: "This incident appears to have centered around a dispute over replacement windows.
“Naturally it was a very alarming and unexpected event for the builders. “Violent crimes, especially those involving knives and blades are one of our top priorities.”

Stokes, who is unemployed, is due to appear at Chippenham magistrates’ court in January.
