A fight outside the Bahia Bar at Waterport Roundabout on Saturday evening saw a man flung into the air after being hit by a speeding car, as well as what the Royal Gibraltar Police have described as “assaults” and “violent behaviour”.

In a statement, the RGP say officers were immediately deployed to the scene, with two people requiring hospital attention. They add within an hour of the start of the incident, at least five arrests had been made.

A video circulated on social media showed the moment at which the man was struck by the car, as well as a chair being thrown at another car. Further videos showed arrests in the area of Harbour Views Estate.

The RGP say they would be grateful for any additional videos or photos to be forwarded to them on police.gi. They also ask any eyewitnesses to contact New Mole House Police Station on 200 72500.

The Commissioner of the RGP says he wants to reassure the community that as soon as the incident was reported to the police, Gold Commander, Superintendent Romero, took strategic command of the police response. Richard Ullger adds this disorder in Gibraltar “will not be tolerated”, and that he will use “all the resources available” to bring those responsible to justice.
