LATE NIGHT HIGH STREET BRAWL
Residents were rudely awoken late on Friday evening when a violent brawl erupted in Froghill High Street.
The fight broke out following an argument between a group of men outside The Nag’s Head just after closing time.
High Street resident Hermione Stubbs said: "I'd been asleep for an hour or so when the noise of people shouting woke me up. I looked out my window and saw about half a dozen young men arguing and jostling each other.
"They were obviously drunk and shouting things like 'Mine’s bigger than yours is', 'No, it isn’t' and 'Go on then, show us'.
“They were rummaging in their trousers and pulling out small fleshy things which appeared to be wriggling about. They then held these things together and compared them by the light of a street lamp.
“I couldn’t get a very good view from where I was, so I ran to fetch my binoculars," said Ms Stubbs, 66.
"When I could see better, I realised that they were holding hamsters in their hands and were arguing over them.
"Then they all started fighting each other. I don’t know what can have happened to the poor animals. I hope they didn't get squashed."
A police spokesman said: "Friday is hamster racing night at The Nag’s Head and sometimes people can get a bit over-excited. Although we don’t intend to press charges, we will be keeping a closer eye on the place from now on."
