CCTV images have been issued after 200 youths wreaked havoc in Manchester city centre after being kicked out of a party on Monday night (July 24).
A number of fights broke out across St Peter’s Square and Piccadilly Gardens following a party being shut down at Rebellion, at Deansgate Locks.
A huge police presence was pictured across the city centre amid the chaos. Officers had initially been called by Rebellion staff after security guards found ‘weaponry’, now understood to be a knife, was ‘thrown’ over its ‘beer garden fence’ before the event was brought to an end.
