Four held after man stabbed in Laughton Common pub car park brawl

Officers attended The Gallows on Hangsman Lane in Laughton Common at about 7.40pm on Saturday.

Several people had been injured — including a man in his 40s who suffered stab wounds which are not life-threatening.

Four men have been arrested in connection with the incident and bailed pending further enquiries. They are: 

• A 30-year-old Rotherham man on suspicion of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and violent disorder
• A 21-year-old Doncaster man on suspicion of Section 18 assault
• A 51-year-old Rotherham man on suspicion of violent disorder
• A 26-year-old Doncaster man on suspicion of violent disorder

Detectives are keen to hear from anyone who had been attending a baby shower at the pub at the time and may hold information about the fight.
