Two groups of people were seen fighting in Salisbury city centre in the early hours of the morning on New Year's Day.

Officers have identified those involved in the disorder on Blue Boar Row at around 2:50am and they will be spoken to in due course.

No one was seriously injured.

However, the force are now looking to speak to independent witnesses as part of their enquiries.

Traffic wardens and highways staff are some of those that could be affected

PC Mark Douglas, from the local policing team, said:

“We have watched CCTV footage from the incident and it is clear that a number of passers-by would have been aware of the disorder.

“We can see people waiting at a nearby bus stop, a man who attempts to intervene and break the fighting up, as well as cars that drive past while the incident is happening.

“If you were in Blue Boar Row at around that time and believe you have information which could assist us, then please get in touch.”

Any witnesses or anyone with dash cam footage should call PC Douglas on 101, quoting crime reference 54220000065.

Alternatively you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
