Detective Sergeant Jim Muzzell, from the Complex Investigation team, said:
“Our enquiries continue and despite these arrests, we are still keen to speak to anyone who may have any information in relating to this incident, in particular anyone who has phone footage or dash cam footage and hasn’t as yet spoken to police, to please get in touch with us.
“Granby Street would have been very busy at this particular time of the evening and there would have been lots of people who were passing through the area who would have been aware of what was going on and may have been felt scared and concerned.
“This is a serious incident and our officers continue to gather evidence as part of the investigation so we are keen to hear from anyone who has passing by the scene as the incident unfolded and has been directly affected by what happened.
“We are also aware of a video circulating online which shows part of the incident. I like to continue to ask people not to share this or to speculate regarding the circumstances surrounding the incident and if you have any information please contact us.”
