Devon and Cornwall Police arrested two men after three people were injured in a large fight on Calenick Street in Truro at about 13:45 BST. Police cordoned off the road after reports that a bladed article was used, and armed officers went to the scene.
One man suffered a potentially serious injury, while two other men had minor injuries. Police arrested two men in their 20s on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
Calenick Street in Truro
The fight unfolded in a city-centre street, where police moved quickly to control access and deal with the injuries already reported. The response included armed officers, which shows the incident was handled as a serious public-order and violence case rather than a routine disturbance.
Police said the people involved are believed to know each other, and they said there is no wider threat to the public. For anyone in the area, that means the cordon was tied to the scene itself rather than to a broader risk across Truro.

Police asked anyone with information or relevant footage to contact investigating officers. That leaves the focus on evidence from people who were in or near Calenick Street, where the sequence moved from a fight at about 13:45 BST to arrests and a cordon within the same response.
The open question is what caused the fight on Calenick Street and whether the two men in their 20s will face charges after the arrests.
