Police Appeal After Mass Brawl In South Belfast
Police in Belfast are appealing for witnesses after a large-scale disturbance in Bradbury Place during the early hours of Sunday morning.
Shortly after 2am, police received a report of a fight inside a nightclub. Security staff had removed the individuals involved before police arrived, but the altercation continued outside.
Around 50 people were involved in the incident, which escalated to assaults on police officers. Five officers sustained injuries as a result.
The disturbance lasted for a significant period before calm was restored.
Two men were arrested and remain in custody. A number of Community Resolution notices were also issued.
Chief Inspector Claire Hamilton is encouraging anyone who may have filmed the disturbance, or who witnessed it, to get in touch with police: "I would like anyone who captured mobile phone or dashcam footage in Bradbury place between 2am and 3am this morning to please share it with us. Public disorder such as that which occurred last night is not what we want to see on our city’s streets. We want Belfast to be a safe and enjoyable destination for a night out for bar and night club patrons and it should be said that this disturbance is not typical of our night time economy.
Anyone who can assist our investigation in anyway is asked to contact police on 101, quoting reference number 196 01/12/24."
