Police attended a fight on Reeves Close on Tuesday and arrested five people.

Five people have been arrested after a brawl in Hamilton that involved a large group of people, with one showing symptoms of coronavirus.

Police were called to the property on Reeves Close, Fairview Downs, about 10am on Tuesday, Senior Sergeant Andrew O'Reilly said.

The fight was between neighbours, with three people arrested for possession of an offensive weapon and two charged with possession of synthetics to supply.

A knife, shovel, hockey stick and baseball bat were reported to have been used in the fight and initially there were reports that a man had shot another man with a firearm.

Extra precautions were taken to ensure police safety when officers arrived as there were also reports someone was showing symptoms for Covid-19.

If people had concerns or problems with their neighbours through the lockdown, O'Reilly encouraged them to use the 105 number to report the behaviour and said police would follow it up.

"We know levels of frustration are getting up there. If you don't get this lockdown right, it's going to be extended.

"Please don't take matters into your own hands.

"We have to get it right, this is short-term stress to fix a long-term problem."
