It was reported that at around 615pm outside the bingo hall in Danestrete, an altercation took place involving a number of teenage boys.

During the incident bladed weapons are believed to have been seen and one of the teenage boys ended up on the ground and some of his personal items were taken. He sustained minor injuries.
