“Incidents of violence and disorderly behaviour are completely unacceptable and have a detrimental impact on law-abiding residents and local businesses.

“We will be relentless in our efforts to track down those responsible.

“Our investigators are continuing to urge witnesses who have not yet spoken to the police, and anybody who recorded footage of the incident to contact the appeal line.”
