ONE man suffered a broken leg and

another a dislocated shoulder during

a fight outside the King Charles II

public house in Broad Street, Ross.

At around 2am on Sunday, February

15th an altercation broke out

inside the pub and two men were

removed, but the disorder escalated

outside, with several people fighting.

Local residents told the Ross

Gazette that the incident began on the

dance floor and may have been

sparked by the televised rugby

matches from earlier on Saturday.

When police arrived at the scene,

there were estimated to be some 60 or

so people milling around in the street

outside the pub. During the fracas, it

appears that one male has suffered a

broken leg and another a dislocated

shoulder.

Both injured men were treated at

hospital. The man with the broken

leg is still detained there.

Police are still trying to establish

the exact cause of the fight and events

around the incident.

They are closely studying footage

from CCTV cameras in the town.

Detectives are anxious to speak with

anyone who was at or outside the pub

at the time, who witnessed what happened

or who may have other information

to give.

Anyone with information should

contact DC Paul Matthews at Ross

CID on 0300 333 3000 or call the free

Crimestoppers line on 0800 555111.
