A city centre bar where a gun was flashed during a bust-up has been allowed to stay open. A committee meeting at Manchester Town Hall heard a group of men were involved in an argument on June 4 at The Lawn Club before the firearm was pulled out.
The scuffle spilled outside at the Spinningfields venue. Blood was seen on the pavement after punches were thrown. Thomas McCartney, designated premises supervisor (DPS), spoke to committee councillors as the future of the venue was decided.
Firearms officers from Greater Manchester Police were on the scene within four minutes of 999 being called at 10.14pm. The gun was not fired, but customers were evacuated.
