Two young people were reported as causing a disturbance on Washington Street at 2:52 a.m. Thursday, but they left before police arrived.

According to the caller, the young men kicked over a trash bin in a driveway, and when a neighbor confronted them, one of the men flashed a machete at the neighbor, then left the scene.

Police are investigating the incident.
