Two were holding nunchucks and one had a knife.

An eyewitness added: "It sounded like shouting was in an Eastern European language and people passing by were stopped in their tracks.

"Two men were bearing nunchucks and waving them around.

"All three were shouting and gesturing before one man locked himself in the door next to doo das hair salon in Maidstone, leading to what looks like a block of flats.
