Two men have been arrested as part of our response to an incident in Colchester in the early hours of this morning, Saturday 6 June.
We were alerted to a disturbance involving a group of people in Queen Street shortly after 3am.
Officers arrived and two men, aged 23 and 25, were arrested.
The 23-year-old is being questioned on suspicion of affray, and the 25-year-old is being questioned on suspicion of assault.
From our initial work, we know this incident was witnessed by a number of people, some of whom were filming it on their mobile phones and we would like to hear from them as quickly as possible.
We’ve also not yet spoken to anyone who has identified themselves as a victim in this incident.
Anyone with information should contact us as soon as possible.
