The witness, who was sat in The Steel Foundry pub owned by the Wetherspoons chain at the time of the incident, said they saw youths ‘battering each other,’ smashing a chair and ‘punching and kicking’ each other.

The shocked witness said ‘shoppers were running, screaming, away from the fighting’.

"It erupted into what can only be described as a Wild West bar fight. There were tables and chairs being thrown, one table was smashed over one male’s head,” the eye-witness said.

A spokesperson from Meadowhall said immediately after the incident: “The safety of our customers and colleagues is our number one priority. Our team responded quickly to an isolated incident and we are supporting the police with their investigations.”
