Officers patrolling near to the Lakeside shopping centre in Doncaster on Saturday (23 September) were approached by two separate members of the public to report a disturbance taking place at the location.

Our officers attended and found two groups involved in a disagreement. They separated them and began taking statements. A third group arrived, and an altercation began during which one of the PCs received minor injuries.

Two men, aged 44 and 36, from Doncaster, and a 36-year-old man from Altrincham were all arrested on suspicion of violent disorder.
