A 'hostile' man slashed the bouncer's check with a knife before fleeing a fight at Bernard Manning's Embassy Club last week, according to a council report. The incident at the pub off Rochdale Road in Harpurhey is reported to have taken place on Friday (March 11).
It left another man with cuts to his hand. Manchester council has been asked to suspend the premises' licence pending a full review, raising concerns that the pub is associated with serious crime.
But landlady Deborah Siddall said 'nothing like this' has happened before at the 'world famous' club once owned by the late comedian Bernard Manning. She said: "We've not had any incident like this before. It was just unfortunate.
