A police spokeswoman said they received a call about 4.20pm saying a person was standing in South Rd with a ''firearm or weapon of some sort''.
Armed police attended and a cordon was put in place for a short time, she said.
Police talked to the man and it seemed the weapon was a BB gun, she said.
A witness said he saw the man holding a ''military-style'' firearm.
