Police are continuing their investigation into reports of a fight between a group of armed men in a Leicester park last night.
Police were called to Abbey Park shortly after 6.20pm yesterday after a number of callers reported a fight involving up to 20 men.
Police have spoken to some people who were in the park at the time and now believe up to a dozen men were involved in the brawl.
The force today described reports that one man was carrying an axe and others knives as "unconfirmed".
They are also do not know whether any of the men were injured.
Officers are in the park again today seeking further witnesses.
They have released a description of one man who was apparently involved in the incident.
He is mixed race, 18 to 22, and has a tattoo on the left side of his chest.
Hours earlier, bank holiday crowds had enjoyed the finale of the Bollywood Circus, which has been held in Abbey Park throughout the week.
Insp Kevin Morris, commander of Beaumont Leys police station, which covers the park, said: "This was a really frightening incident for people on the park, most of whom were out enjoying the sunshine with their families.
"However, early inquiries suggest that this was not a planned fight between two gangs.
"It would appear that the incident began following an altercation between two men on the park, who then became surrounded by approximately ten other people, believed to be known to them.
"The investigation is in its early stages and officers are carrying out detailed enquiries to locate those involved.
"Local officers will continue to carry out increased patrols in the area today in order to gather further intelligence and offer reassurance to local people using the park."
