Run On the Scene

amleft.blogspot.com/...
"After about ten minutes, police reinforcements ran on the scene, swinging at protesters with clubs and tackling some to the ground."

Does "ran on the scene" mean the cops were running around at that location, or that they ran TOWARDS the location, or is it poorly written?
