Cheshire Police were called to the Old Millstone pub on Waters Green at around 9pm on Saturday, September 26, following reports of a 'large-scale brawl'.

CCTV footage has shown multiple people in the pub fighting, using pool cues as weapons and throwing glasses and bottles at each other.

No one at the scene gave any names of the people involved.

A 34-year-old man was arrested at the scene but later de-arrested.
