Six people have been arrested after a brawl broke out inside Liverpool Crown Court.
The ECHO has been told two groups were attending court for separate cases when members recognised each other and began arguing and shoving each other outside the court.
The two groups, which included both men and women, separated before another brawl broke out on the ground floor of the Queen Elizabeth II law courts just after 10am today (May 8), the ECHO understands.

The six people were eventually bundled into the back of waiting police cars.
At one point pictures show up to five police cars congregated in Derby Square following the incident.
A spokesperson for Merseyside Police told the ECHO : "We were called to Liverpool Crown Court on Derby Square, Liverpool city centre, at 10.05am today, Wednesday, to reports of a disturbance.
"Six people have been arrested on suspicion of affray. Enquiries are ongoing."
