DETECTIVES have charged two men over a large fight in Derry’s Bogside in the early hours of Saturday morning.
The men, aged 29 and 32, have been charged with disorderly behaviour.
They are to face Derry Magistrates’ Court Wednesday, August 31 for a first remand hearing.
The charges follow a disturbance in Westland Street area of Derry on Saturday morning.
A 16-year-old boy who was also arrested was released on police bail.
During the incident, police officers were attacked with bricks and other items.
The fight involved about 30 people outside a block of flats in Derry.
Police were called to Westland Street at around 4 am.
Det Sgt Michelle Boyd said it appeared the trouble broke out after a man entered a flat in the complex and was then escorted out by four men.
“It’s understood about a dozen other people remained inside the flat,” she said.
“Once out on the street a fight broke out with other people, including those who had previously remained inside the flat, becoming involved. It’s thought that around 30 people were involved.
“All of the individuals who had originally been in the flat managed to make their way back inside.
“Attempts were then made by the others to gain entry and a number of windows were smashed.”
