Wednesday 22 December 2021

A 27-year-old man has been arrested following an alleged 'battering' outside the Fish Market.

Police said the reported fight took place outside the entrance to the market opposite Minden Place car park around 21:20 on Tuesday 21 December.

In an appeal for witnesses, officers said: “It’s reported that two men were involved in a fight outside the fish market, with one of the men sustaining some minor injuries as a result of the fight. It’s believed that the men may have spoken to each other before the incident happened.

“One man was wearing a grey jogging suit and the other was wearing a high-vis work jacket."

They added that it is “not believed that the men knew each other.”

A 27-year-old was arrested shortly after and has since been released on bail.
