A father was stabbed trying to protect his son who was set upon by a gang outside a bar.
The violence erupted outside Hidden Bar, on Silver Street in Bury, in a mass 14-minute brawl that involved a ‘number’ of customers, a council licencing meeting heard.
Evidence presented to a panel of councillors on Thursday included police logs from the stabbing and evidence of other incidents, including that young customers brazenly inhaled nitrous oxide outside the premises in front of door staff, with one man seen entering the premises with a balloon hanging from his mouth.
