Officers investigating a disorder outside the Dockle Farmhouse in Swindon have arrested a further three people.
The incident took place on July 17 outside the pub in Bridge End Road. A large group of teenagers were involved in the incident, which left an 18-year-old man suffering with an injury to his head.
Last week, two 17-year-old boys and a 19-year-old man all from Swindon, were arrested on suspicion of violent disorder. They have since been released under investigation while enquiries continue.
These latest arrests take the total of people arrested in connection with the incident to 10.
PC Lauren Eddy said: “The public have been extremely helpful in identifying individuals believed to be involved in the disorder and we are very grateful for the help and support.
“Violent disorder is an incredibly serious offence and this behaviour will not be tolerated. The disorder took place in a location that was busy with families and young children, as well as being on a busy road. The behaviour of a few has put many others at risk of coming to harm. Nobody should be made to fear for their safety and certainly not in these circumstances.”
