ARMED police officers sealed off a property in Jedburgh on Thursday afternoon following a report of a disturbance.

Witnesses described furniture being smashed and a man refusing to leave the house during a stand-off.

Eventually a 47-year-old man was arrested and taken to Borders General Hospital for treatment.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said officers had been called to the Howden Drive area at around 2.30pm and added: "Enquiries are continuing."
