Police in the Kansas City suburb of Lenexa, Kansas, say a man has been arrested on suspicion of injuring three children, damaging vehicles and threatening people with what turned out to be a pellet gun.

Police said in a statement that the man was arrested Monday after officers fielded reports of an armed suspect throwing rocks at cars. Initial reports indicated that some children were hurt but the extent of their injuries was not released.

Police say that after officers arrived on the scene, the suspect resisted arrest but was taken into custody after a short foot chase.

The investigation is continuing and charges are pending.
