A spokesperson said: "Someone who clearly had a guilty conscience saw them and started running.


"Unfortunately for them, their decision to wear flip flops this morning resulted in a very short foot chase.
"They were arrested due to being a suspect for an assault and public order offence where a knife was alleged to have been involved."
