Police urge public to help them trace man after brawl broke out on busy Chesterfield street

Officers are continuing their investigation into a reported fight between a large group of men, who were a mixture of football supporters from Chesterfield and Bromley, prior to a match between the two teams at the Technique Stadium on October 22.

Officers were called to Sheffield Road, near Chesters restaurant, following the incident at around 2.40pm.

After arriving at the scene, they were approached by a man who said he had been attacked by a male with a London accent. The victim had a torn jacket but was not otherwise injured.

The man left, however, before officers had the chance to take his details – and they are keen to trace him so that their enquiries can progress.
