Two suspects were swiftly arrested — a 22-year-old for carrying an offensive weapon and a 24-year-old for affray — as chaos unfolded with sirens blaring and a major cordon disrupting Metrolink services. A dispersal order now covers a wide area around the city center until 8:40 AM Friday, as police dig deeper into the incident, aiming to restore safety and calm to a shaken community.
