POLICE are appealing for witnesses to a disturbance outside the Original Wire pub on Orford Lane on Friday, March 30.
Trouble started in the pub, formerly the Wheatsheaf, at around 10.15pm when the female licensee tried to throw a man out.
As she did so, a group of between eight and 10 men forced her outside the pub on to Orford Lane.
When people rushed to help her, they were attacked by the gang, and several people who ran to her aid were left with wounds from glasses or bottles.
Anyone who saw the disturbance is asked to contact Det Con Jo Gleeson or Det Con Andy Cribben on 01244 613 833 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
