TWO groups of people were seen fighting in Salisbury during the early hours on New Year's Day.

Now police officers are appealing for witnesses to help with their investigation.

The disorder took place at around 2.50am on January 1, along Blue Boar Row.

Officers have confirmed that nobody was seriously injured and those involved have been identified.

They will be spoken to by police in due course.

CCTV has revealed that during the fight one man attempted to intervene, as well as capturing a number of pedestrians and cars passing by the scene.

Urging witnesses to come forward, PC Mark Douglas from the local policing team said: “We have watched CCTV footage and it is clear that a number of passers-by would have been aware of the disorder.

“We can see people waiting at a nearby bus stop, a man who attempts to intervene and break the fighting up, as well as cars that drive past while the incident is happening.

“If you were in Blue Boar Row at around that time and believe you have information which could assist us, then please get in touch.”

Any witnesses or anyone with dash cam footage can call PC Douglas on 101, quoting crime reference 54220000065.
