A man was seen pulling a gun during an altercation that left someone with a bite wound at a school bus stop in Marshfield, Massachusetts, Wednesday, police said.
The incident prompted a brief lockdown at a nearby school, according to Marshfield police, who arrested the man, identified as Oscar Anderson, 29. He faces charges including assault and battery, disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace.
Several people called 911 about 8:15 a.m. to report an altercation near the stop on Plain Street, and two of them reported a man pulling out a gun, according to police. The incident took place near Marshfield's schools, so authorities ordered that people there shelter in place.
Anderson was taken into custody and the other person involved in the fight, who hasn't been identified, was sent to a hospital after being bitten under their armpit and hit in the head with keys by Anderson, according to police.
