A group of men armed with machetes fled the area in a car.
Enquiries were launched in an attempt to trace the vehicle before police received further reports of a similar incident in Ganton Close, Woodhouse.
The force believed the two reports to be linked and armed officers were deployed to the area.
The suspect car was stopped in Buslingthorpe Lane and officers recovered weapons - including machetes - from the vehicle.
Four men, aged between 24 and 32, were arrested on suspicion of affray and possession of offensive weapons. Three of the men were also arrested on suspicion of drugs offences.
All four suspects have since been released under investigation as enquiries continue.
