It applies to the whole of the town and began at 3pm and will be in place until 12pm tomorrow. If necessary, the order can then be extended.
The news follows a man being hospitalised earlier this week on Thursday (September 21) after police received reports of two men fighting with weapons in Quantock Close at around 3:30pm.
Hours later, police reported that a man attended hospital with 'serious' stab wounds.
It is believed the two incidents may be linked to a fight which took place at Chapel Street at 10:45pm on Tuesday, September 19.
A section 60 was put in place until Friday (September 22).
