Fareham police calling for witnesses to fights in Titchfield Square and Southampton Hill on Sat 4th Sept

Police in Fareham are

appealing for information after several men were injured in a fight on Saturday

September 4th in the alleyway area of Chapelside / Titchfield

Square.

A fight broke out between a

group of three men and another two of men at around 11.30pm. The pair of men then

walked up Southampton Hill while the group of three men called another man who

picked them up in a car, taking them to find the two men they’d fought with earlier.

The two groups then

converged again at the top of Southampton Hill where a second fight broke out

at around 12.10am.

None of the men were

seriously injured but most sustained cuts and bruises.

Police were called and five

local men, aged 18, 20, 21, 21 and 42, have been arrested on suspicion of a

range of offences including assault and affray. All have been bailed until

November.

Detective Constable Katie

Wakefield said: “Titchfield is generally a quiet and peaceful area and this

kind of incident is rare, but we take reports of violence extremely seriously

and we are thoroughly investigating this incident.

“The fight was predominantly

between two groups of white men, aged we believe between 18 and 25, although we

believe the man driving the car in the later incident was older than this.

Anyone with any information

should contact DC Wakefield at Fareham CID on 0845 045 45 45 or contact the

anonymous Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.
