West Bromwich pub could lose licence over violent incident involving bouncers who used 'weapon from behind the bar'
A pub could lose its licence over an assault involving door staff and an ‘offensive’ weapon.
Rajinder Singh, the owner of the Prince of Wales in West Bromwich High Street, will face Sandwell Council’s licensing committee after an assault involving the pub’s bouncers last month.
West Midlands Police said it had received a call from a member of the public because “three people were bleeding from the head” after an incident at the Prince of Wales at around 12.30am on November 16.
The force said the incident started inside the High Street pub, which opens until 11pm or 12.30am at weekends, and spilled out onto the street.
Officers reported wounding with intent, one offence of grievous bodily harm and another assault causing actual bodily harm, and were investigating the possession of an offensive weapon.
The force said it was concerned the incident involved the pub’s staff and bouncers.
