Four people were arrested after what police described as ‘unacceptable behaviour’ in York at the weekend.
As YorkMix reported, there was a large-scale police response on Low Ousegate on Saturday at 7.45pm.
Large crowds descended on the city centre from the races and elsewhere and trouble broke out along Ouse Bridge including, witnesses said, at the Slug and Lettuce.
A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “Officers attended and acted swiftly to reduce rising tensions.”
Four people were arrested for offences including affray and assaulting an emergency worker.
Three of the four have since been bailed with conditions which prevent them from entering York city centre.
The Senior Commander for York, Superintendent Ed Haywood-Noble said: “We are committed to tackling all types of unacceptable and criminal behaviour in our city centre at night.
“The vast majority of people are using the city’s bars without issue or incident and those who are intent on committing crime in York are not welcome.
“York has a vibrant hospitality scene, and people should be able to come to here without the fear of becoming a victim of crime.”
