Two schools are in lockdown as armed police search for a group of people involved in an altercation that left a boy injured.

One male was seen with a "long-bladed item" during the incident outside St Peter's High School in Gloucester earlier, police said.

Armed officers are now searching for a group involved who fled the area. The force said one boy had been taken to hospital with minor injuries.
