A man arrested after young people were allegedly threatened by a knife-wielding suspect in a Lurgan park has been released on bail.
The incident happened in Lord Lurgan Memorial Park on Thursday evening.
On Saturday police said a male arrested in connection with the matter had been released pending further enquiries.
Inspector Woods said: “We received a report at around 7pm that a man, armed with a knife, was threatening young people in the park.
“Officers attended and located the man in a house in a street nearby. He was arrested on suspicion of two counts of common assault and possession of an article with a blade or point.”
Insp Woods added: “Thankfully, there were no reports of any injuries, but this was a terrifying incident for the young victims.”
On Saturday the PSNI said: “A 59-year-old man, arrested by officers investigating a report of a man armed with a knife in Lord Lurgan Park on Thursday has been released on bail to allow for further enquiries.”
Earlier, Sinn Fein councillor Keith Haughian told the BBC that he understands youth workers physically stood between the man and the youngsters.
He said a group of around a dozen children aged between 12 and 13 had been in the park doing activities with the Drumgor Detached Youth Work Project.
The Drumgor Detached Youth Work Project said an incident occurred which resulted in their staff intervening to de-escalate the situation.
It praised “the actions of the team who ensured that all young people were kept safe”.
“As an organisation, we will continue to support the young people and staff who have been impacted by this event,” it added.
