New CCTV image released after Newcastle United and Burnley fans brawled with pool cues

Police investigating alleged disorder between Newcastle United and Burnley FC fans have released another CCTV image.

They would like to speak to the man in the picture following the incident which is believed to have taken place on Saturday, December 14, at around 4.25pm at the Turf Hotel on Yorkshire Street, Burnley.

An initial row broke out between the rival groups of fans and some Newcastle supporters were ejected by door staff.

A short time later, a group of between 20 to 25 Newcastle fans returned and a fight broke out, with pool cues, glasses and bar furniture used as weapons.

One man had to be treated at hospital for an eye injury, LancsLive reports.

Police initially appealed for information in February with one man identified and interviewed.

Officers have now released CCTV footage of this man, pictured, who they would like to identify as part of their enquiries.

A number of men have also been interviewed by Northumbria Police in connection with the disorder.

PC Dan Fish, of Burnley Police, said: “We are keen to speak to this man and would urge anyone who knows who it is to come forward immediately.

"I believe someone knows this individual and I would ask for the public’s help in identifying him.”

Anyone with information can call PC Dan Fish on 07967 819474.

Alternatively, you can email 545@lancashire.pnn.police.uk or independent charity Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555111 or online at crimestoppers-uk.org.
