A crowd has formed a temporary barrier at the scene, keeping passersby from getting too close, despite an absense of police tape. Armed officers could be seen outside Wendy's, with some speaking with the driver of a 120 bus, which was waiting at the stop outside.
South Yorkshire Police have since confirmed that a man has been arrested and two dogs seized following the incident.
It is reported that two dogs attacked another dog on High Street, prompting the armed response.
The Star has approached the force for a statement.
