Manchester bar allowed to reopen weeks after gunman fled from stabbing

A city centre bar where a gunman was involved in a fight which left one stabbed in the leg has been allowed to resume trading after it shut.

Officers descended on the Lawn Club after a member of staff called the police on June 4 saying there was a 'large group of people fighting' and that one had a gun. They went on to say that another man was lying unconscious and that they thought that the man with the gun had now left.

At 10.25pm, ambulance crews told police that a man had been stabbed in the leg but that the knife was no longer in his leg and they did not know where it was, according to a GMP report published ahead of the previous licensing hearing on June 7.
