Four police vehicles last night rushed to an Ayr street after reports of a serious disturbance at a block of flats.
Three police cars raced to the flats in Mill Street about 5pm.
Another police van could be seen parked outside Christina's bar.
Officers were called to a disturbance in Blackfriars Walk.
Police said they were called out for a second time to another disturbance later that evening.
A man was taken from a flat by police in handcuffs after behaving in a threatening and abusive manner.
A police spokesman said today: “We can confirm that police responded to reports of a disturbance at Blackfriars Walk, Ayr, on two occasions last night.
"At 7.45pm, a 46 year old man was arrested from a flat after allegedly behaving in a threatening and abusive manner.
