Large fight erupts at Gunwharf Quays resulting in two men being assaulted as screaming girl detained
A large fight erupted at Gunwharf Quays resulting in two men being assaulted and two people facing police action.
Chaotic scenes were captured on camera at the high-end shopping centre showing part of the incident where a girl is screaming on the ground as several members of security detain her.
Police said the incident happened around 7.30pm on Monday 5 January when a 63-year-old man from Portsmouth was assaulted and received injuries to his head and face.
A 24-year-old man from Southampton was arrested on suspicion of actual bodily harm and has been bailed with conditions until Saturday 4 April whilst “enquiries continue”.
A police spokesperson also said a 14-year-old girl received a community resolution following an assault without injury against a 27-year-old man from Havant.
In the video the girl was heard crying and screaming “you’re hurting me” towards security guards as she was held on the ground amid shouts from youngsters to “get off her”.
The girl’s parent said her daughter was taken to hospital with possible concussion and whiplash and branded the treatment towards her child as “disgusting”.
Gunwharf has been approached for comment.
