A clubber was taken to hospital after suffering a head injury during a brawl at a nightclub in Chatham during the early hours of Tuesday morning.

The 19-year-old who has not been named, was injured during a fight at the Tap and Tin at about 2.45am.

He was taken to a London hospital for treatment, but his injuries are not thought to have been life-threatening.

People living near the nightclub and those travelling to work on buses later in the morning had to be diverted along New Road and The Brook because Railway Street had been cordoned off by police while they carried out investigations at the scene.

A spokeswoman for police said: “Officers were called to an establishment in Railway Street, Chatham, at 2.45am following a report of a disturbance.

“SECAmb were called to the scene as an 19-year-old man was reported to be unconscious.

“Three people were arrested, they are all men, aged 18, 23 and 20.”

A spokesman for SECAmb said paramedics were called at 2.50am to Railway Street to reports of a 19-year-old man was unconscious with a head injury.

He added: “One ambulance crew attended the scene and the man was assessed and treated for a potentially serious head injury before being taken to Kings College Hospital.”

On Wednesday, the police spokeswoman said the trio had been bailed pending until September 14 pending further inquiries.

She also add the man in hospital is now in a stable condition.
