- A man has been arrested after driving through a military checkpoint, getting close to an aircraft at a base in Suffolk used by the US Air Force.
- Shots were fired by US personnel before the 44-year-old British man was overcome by staff at RAF Mildenhall.
- The base was temporarily put into lockdown as Suffolk police responded to reports of what they called a "significant incident".
- Police said the incident was being treated as trespass, not terrorism.
- Supt Kim Warner, from Suffolk Police, said the man, who suffered cuts and bruises, was arrested after a "short pursuit" and his vehicle was stopped by US security services.
- There was "no obvious motive at this stage", he said, adding there was no wider threat to the public or the base and police were not looking for anyone else.
- The vehicle was brought to a halt close to a US plane, an Osprey, and it was not thought there was "any significant damage" to the vehicle or the aircraft, Supt Warner said.
- Suffolk Police was notified about a breach of security at about 13:40 GMT.
- "Shots were fired by US security, I don't know how many, but I do know that shots were fired," Supt Warner said.
- "It would be fair to say some of the minor injuries were probably as a result of him being apprehended," he added.
- The superintendent said there would now be an internal investigation by the US airbase into why guns were discharged.
