<p>West Midlands Police said the suspect was detained following an area search after reports of a man armed with a knife at Sainsbury&#8217;s in Blackheath, West Midlands.</p>
<p>A police spokesman said no injuries had been reported but confirmed that several nearby roads had been closed, including Halesowen Street, John Street and Union Street.</p>
<p>Fire crews also attended the incident at about 12.10pm on Saturday.</p>
<p>A police spokeswoman said she was unable to comment on claims that a gas cannister had been set off in a toilet at the store, prompting fears of an explosion.</p>
<p>The man was detained after armed officers and a police helicopter were deployed to the area.</p>

<p>In a statement confirming a fire had been set inside toilets at the shop, Chief Inspector Paul Minor said: <i>&#8220;The store remains closed while we examine the scene and assess the cause of the fire.</p>
<p>&#8220;The man is in custody and his motives remain unclear. However, we do not believe this to be related to any terror threat.&#8221;</i></p>
