Six men hunted over knife fight outside club in busy Northampton road

Detectives issued descriptions of six men they want to identify and appealed for witnesses to come forward with mobile phone footage after violence erupted outside a Northampton club on Sunday afternoon (September 4).

Officers confirmed knives were used during the altercation in Kingsthorpe Road while one man was hit on the head with a bottle.

It happened as four males leaving Barratts Club were involved in an alternation with two other men, both wearing balaclavas, between 5.45pm and 6pm.

Some bystanders are thought to have filmed the incident on mobile phones and police are appealing for them to come forward offering the video footage to help speed-up the investigation.
