Police rush to Bedworth Wetherspoons bar as two arrested in ‘knife fight’ investigation.

A man and a teenager have been arrested after a row in a pub. It happened at the Bear and Ragged Staff in Bedworth town center last night, July 3rd. Warwickshire Police said the initial 999 call was to reports of anti-social behavior outside the pub in King Street just before 8pm.

It was reported to have escalated after a group of men entered. CoventryLive understands that locals tried to push them away and this led to what police described as an “altercation involving a number of people”. The fight spilled over to King Street.
