Officers arrived at The Jam House in Queen Street at around 6.20pm following reports of a fight breaking out in the crowd.

The venue was hosting a mixed martial arts (MMA) event at the time.

One witness described “a huge police presence” outside the club.

“Apparently it all kicked off in the crowd,” an onlooker said.

A police spokesman said the incident was on-going and no further comment would be issued at this time.

The street has since reopened to traffic.
