As a result, paramedics were called and two men were taken to Northampton General Hospital, at least one suffering a head wound. It is believed none of the injuries were caused by the machete.

Officers subsequently arrested a man on suspicion of affray and carrying an offensive weapon.

The machete has since been recovered but police briefly asked teachers to keep pupils inside until they found the other men involved.
