A man sustained serious injuries following an altercation near to the bar area that had been set up for the event which was attended by hundreds of people.

Organisers also put on a big screen for people to watch England play Sweden in the quarter final of the World Cup so there were dozens of football fans and families at the event.

Police are now keen to speak to anyone who may have information about the assault which happened at around 8-15pm just off Queen Street.
