Three Men Charged Following Alleged Swansea Club Fight

BY OLIVIA DILLON

Three men have been charged following an alleged affray at Swansea.

At about 6:20pm on Saturday the 16th of December, 2023, police arrived at a licensed club on Bridge Street and were told a man had been asked to leave after displaying aggressive behaviour.

A short time later, an argument broke out between staff and his associates.

Two men, aged 37 and 55, allegedly broke through the front doors of the premises, which had been locked, causing them to smash.

They, along with another 75-year-old man then re-entered the venue and assaulted two employees.

As a result, one 39-year-old man was taken to the John Hunter Hospital where he was treated for lacerations to his head and a dislocated finger.

The other 24-year-old employee did not report any injuries to police.

Following inquiries, the three men were arrested and each charged with multiple offences.

They've all been granted conditional bail to appear before Belmont Local Court on Wednesday the 24th of January, 2024.
