Those injuries range from walking wounded to more serious, but thankfully at this time nobody appears to have suffered life-threatening injuries.
“There could well be more people who suffered minor injuries last night who did not seek medical treatment. I’d urge those people to contact us so our officers can speak with you and provide any support that you may need.

This is clearly an incredibly serious and dangerous offence, and we have a team of officers from all across the force working to progress enquiries and identify those involved as swiftly as possible.
