A man has been arrested after being challenged with Taser in Chapelfield Gardens where he was seen retrieving a knife from some bushes.
Police were called to the park this afternoon after being told a man had been ejected from a nearby premises, and had been seen to go into some undergrowth and emerge with a blade.
Sgt Mark Shepherd, of the Norwich East Safer Neighbourhood Team, said officers were on scene within two minutes and challenged the man.
'We had a call over the radio that a male had been ejected from a premises nearby, at which point he had gone to some bushes and was seen to recover a knife,' said Sgt Shepherd.
'Officers attended, including one armed with Taser. He was challenged with a red dot and arrested, and the knife has been recovered.'
The man, aged in his 20s, is now in custody at Wymondham Police Investigation Centre.
Sgt Shepherd added: 'It was just the red dot used, and a challenge to get to the floor where he has been handcuffed. That was all the force used.'
