A pub closed its doors after a fight.

Violence flared at The Albion in Church Road, Hove, on Saturday night.

Police were called at about 9.30pm to reports of a confrontation between about 30 men armed with glasses and bottles.

Pub staff said there was only a minor problem inside, which escalated when trouble spilled into the street.

Three men, aged 21 and 22, were arrested on suspicion of affray.

They have since been released on bail while police investigate further.

Licensing officers spoke to the pub’s management, who closed voluntarily for the rest of the evening.

Sussex Police said they will investigate whether any issues need to be dealt with as a result of the trouble.
