Four people have been arrested after a mob brawl in Halifax. The violence erupted between two large gangs on Parkinson Lane, at 4pm and left one man requiring treatment for head injuries.
The two groups, who were both Asian, attacked each other with wooden sticks and baseball bats as shocked bystanders could only look on.
The fight was believed to have originated from a family dispute.
Mohammed Ilyas (Lib Dem, Park) said: “It is awful for us to have violence of this nature on our doorsteps.
“There is absolutely no place for large scale mob fighting like this and we hope police can get to the bottom of why it occurred.
“People have told me they were shocked at what they saw, especially as these men were armed.
“We need to ensure this doesn’t happen again.”
Four men aged 24, 22, 30 and 48 were arrested at the scene, on Tuesday, on suspicion of affray.
They have all been released on bail.
A large-scale police operation was needed to calm the violence.
It is the second gang brawl in the area in a week.
On Thursday June 4 two groups of people, thought to be Asian, were fighting in Battinson Road, Halifax, at 6pm.
A vehicle had its rear window smashed and a number of people were injured.
Anyone with any information about either incident is asked to contact PC Rachael Habergham in Calderdale’s suspect management unit on 01422 337115.
