Popworld has been approached for comment about the incident, which saw a large number of people congregate outside the venue.

Two police cars and a police van were parked outside the nightclub while the incident was ongoing.

A dispersal order is used in a wide range of situations in order to offer immediate relief to the community.

These powers enable officers and PCSOs to direct a person who has engaged or is likely to engage in anti-social behaviour, to leave a specified area and not to return for a period of 48 hours.
