Anybody in Bartholomew or Northbrook Street between 3 and 4 pm yesterday afternoon?

I was in town with my son and he was a bit frightened by what appeared to be rival gangs threatening and yelling abuse at each other this was between about 3.30and 3.45 and involved these people running at each other then confronting up close, repeatedly between St Nick's church and Iceland. A man was on his phone giving a running commentary to, I assumed, The Police, but nobody showed up, so maybe I was mistaken. a lot of people came out of shops to watch and someone I know told me it had been going on for at least half an hour before we witnessed it.

Later my wife, who was in Northbrook Street with our baby said similar things went on in an area there at around 4 and some girls were now also getting involved and also racially abusing a young woman of Asian complexion who was just passing by minding her own business.

I'd say the males I saw involved were mainly aged between 15 and 25, except one who was certainly the loudest and most provocative who, as well as looking completely wasted, appeared to more like 30.

If you did witness any of this, firstly, did the Police ever show up? and secondly, does anyone know what it was about or how it ended?
