Five Men Arrested After Brutal Brawl Leaves Young Man Fighting for Life in Kent
Late-Night Clash at Minster-on-Sea
Kent Police have swooped on five men following a violent street fight that seriously injured a man in his 20s. The savage scrap erupted just before midnight on Friday, December 20, at the junction of Minster Road and Sunnyside Avenue, Minster-on-Sea.
Officers arrived to find the victim unconscious after a brutal clash between two groups. Witnesses say one gang was armed with baseball bats. The young victim, out with two friends at the time, was rushed to a London hospital. He remains in a serious but stable condition.
Suspects Held and Investigation Underway
The five suspects, aged 18 to 42 and local to the area, are now in custody as Kent Police launch a full probe into the incident.

They’re urgently calling for anyone with dashcam or doorbell footage to come forward. Witnesses who saw the earlier confrontation or the violent outbreak on Minster Road are also asked to help.
