    A man has been arrested after reports of someone carrying a bladed article at Bangor University.

    North Wales Police were called shortly before 2.30pm on Friday 6 February following concerns about a man on the university grounds.

    Officers attended the scene and a 20 year old local man was arrested on suspicion of public order offences.

    District Inspector Jamie Owens said enquiries were continuing and that police were working closely with the university.

    He added: “I want to reassure the community that we are not looking for anyone else in connection with this incident.

    “I would also like to thank the community for their patience as we worked to safely resolve the situation on Friday afternoon.”

    Police have not released any further details about the circumstances surrounding the incident, but confirmed there was no wider risk to students or staff.
