Witnesses are being urged to hand over their phone footage after a shocking brawl erupted outside a Maidstone nightclub, leaving security staff injured and windows smashed.

The trouble started around 1am on Sunday, when a rowdy group tried to force their way into the Ovation club on Gabriel’s Hill. It’s claimed the group turned violent, allegedly hurling punches at bouncers and even ripping up metal barriers to smash the front windows. Police raced to the scene, arresting two men on the spot. A further two were arrested the next day in connection with the attack.

Detectives are still hunting for others involved in the late-night chaos and are pleading with the public to come forward if they were there and filmed the mayhem on mobile phones as police need to see it. Do you have information that could help? You can call Kent Police on 01622 604100, quoting reference 46/167975/25, or contact Crimestoppers anonymously at 0800 555111.
