READ MORE: Mass brawl outside Greggs in Leeds city centre as five arrested and man rushed to hospital After a conversation between them started in Polish, it was said that “the mood changed” and they were assaulted by people at the venue, where a boxing event had taken place that evening. The men departed the club, but one returned inside after realising he’d left his coat and house keys behind.
PC Clifford said the victim’s partner, who lived nearby, was woken by the commotion and went to the scene, adding: “She’s been assaulted for coming out and seeing what’s happened and been dragged by her hair across a garden.” “They don’t want to put their families at risk. There’s a cloud of fear over the club where if something happens it’s dealt with internally and it’s ‘do not speak to the police’.
“I’m not sure if they were going as far as to say they were attacked because they were Polish, but they did say certainly when they spoke Polish that changed things and the assault then happened.”However, in a redacted written submission sent ahead of the hearing, club secretary Rachel Radbourne said: “On Saturday October 17 I was present at the event all night, we had three security operatives…and there were no issues at all.
