Two people have been injured in a late-night disturbance at a town centre bar which has previously been at the centre of violent disorder.

Police were called to the Century Club in Maidstone shortly before midnight yesterday after reports of assaults on two people at the sports bar and snooker club.

Video posted on social media by eyewitnesses shows crowds spilling out of the Lower Stone Street venue as police officers and ambulance crews responded to the incident.

Two people received medical treatment at the scene, one for head and eye wounds and the other for minor facial injuries. No weapons were believed to be used.

A police spokesman said: "No suspects were identified at the scene and officers are carrying out enquiries into the incident.

"Anyone with information should contact Kent Police on 01622 604100 quoting 46/260545/21."

The troubled sports bar, which was at the centre of police attention earlier this year after a teenager was stabbed nearby, has previously been hit with stricter operating conditions.

Its licence was reviewed after Kent Police found the owners had not learnt from previous incidents, including a brawl where officers had to Taser revellers.

An 18-page police report, which also touched on repeated breaches of Covid protocol, stated: "The venue seems to have become a focal point for customers outside of Maidstone which gives concern for increased crime and disorder and public safety."
