Police Launching Full Investigation
Superintendent Paul Minor revealed the chaos started inside a pub before escalating outside. “We believe trouble started in a pub before further disorder in the street where the assault took place,” he said.
“The victim is very poorly in hospital. We’ve spoken to witnesses and are seizing CCTV to catch those responsible. The area was packed and many people may have recorded the incident on their phones.”
He urged anyone who filmed the brawl or was involved to come forward: “We want to get a clear picture of what happened and hear all sides.”
Crime Scene Locked Down
