A BRAWL erupted outside a takeaway in Wareham in the early hours of a Sunday morning.

The incident – which police said involved two groups of young men – near Wareham Pizza and Kebab, occurred at around midnight on Sunday, September 1.

Around five minutes later, the victim – a man in his 40s – attended the area in his vehicle to collect two of the men.

It is reported that two unknown men made threats toward the victim while in possession of a knife and a bottle, police added.

PC Mark Mills, of Purbeck police, said: “I have been continuing to carry out enquiries into this incident and am now in a position to issue CCTV images of two men I would like to speak to.

“While I appreciate the images are not the best quality, I am hoping someone may still be able to recognise the men from their clothing.”
