Police have blocked part of a busy West Swindon route this evening.
Drivers heading down Tewkesbury Way from Shaw Ridge cannot go further than the Toothill roundabout, while motorists heading in the opposite direction from Mannington Roundabout are being diverted onto Bodiam Drive.
Cones and police cars blocked part of Tewkesbury Way from around 6.30pm to 7.30pm.
A Wiltshire Police spokeswoman said: "This was a mental health-related incident, but the road has now reopened and the incident has been dealt with.
"One woman has been arrested on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon."
