Police have arrested 25 people on suspicion of multiple violent disorder offenses after a large-scale street brawl in broad daylight.

Twenty-two people were taken to hospital with injuries, 10 of them seriously, following the fight on Woodbourn Road in Sheffield at around 2pm on Saturday.

Footage on social media appeared to show at least two people being beaten as they lay on the ground as the incident spilled onto the road.

South Yorkshire Police Chief Superintendent Simon Wanless said: “Officers worked through the night at the scene on Woodbourn Road and carried out extensive enquiries, including CCTV trawls.

“I would strongly encourage anyone with information about the incident to come forward. If you were in the area around the time of the incident and have CCTV, video or dashcam footage please get in touch.

“You will see an increased police presence in the area today and over the next few days.”

A number of vehicles were also reported to have been damaged during the disturbance.
