POLICE have been called to a house after a teenager allegedly brandished a knife during a fight.
Officers were called to the house in Market Place, off High Street, Colchester, shortly before 5.30pm following reports of a fight breaking out inside the house.
The boy was then reported to have fled, running off in the direction of the park.
A police spokesman added: “It is not clear from the occupants of the home whether he still had the knife or not.
“Officers carried out an area search using the police helicopter for support.”
At the time of going to press, the boy had not been found.
