Police are continuing to appeal for witnesses to a mass fight that took place outside an Otley pub.

The brawl happened in the back car park of The Yeo-man pub, on Gay Lane, at about 8.15pm on Saturday, June 20.

West Yorkshire Police, who sent out a helicopter and closed off part of the road while tackling the disturbance, found four injured men on arrival at the scene.

Two of them, aged 37 and 46 and both from Leeds, were seriously injured. All four were taken to Leeds General Infirmary for treatment but have since been discharged.

A 29-year-old man from Leeds was also later discovered to have been seriously hurt in the incident.

Police believe the trouble started when a group of between ten and 15 local men turned up at the pub, which was hosting a fundraising band night and region-wide scooter rally.

Six men aged between 18 and 40 have now been arrested in connection with the fight and have been released on police bail pending further enquiries.

Detectives have already spoken to a number of witnesses but are still keen to hear from anyone else who witnessed the incident or has information about it.

Anybody with information is asked to contact Det Con Rob Miller at Weetwood police station by ringing 0845 6060606 or to call Crimestoppers, anonymously and in confidence, on 0800 555 111.
