Police are appealing for witnesses after a fight broke out between a group of young people in a Douglas car park yesterday evening.

A constabulary spokesperson said: 'At approximately 7pm last night, Tuesday, August 8, a small fight broke out between a group of young persons within the car park between Lord Street and Barbary Coast in Douglas.
