Update: Man in serious condition in hospital after Marlow fight Update: Man in serious condition in hospital after Marlow fight

A 24-YEAR-old man is in a serious condition in hospital after a fight broke out in Marlow in the early hours of this morning.

Police were called around 2.30am to reports of a group of five or six men fighting using glass and bottles outside the Cross Keys pub in Spittal Street.

At around 3am a 24-year-old man was admitted to Wexham Park Hospital with injuries sustained at the incident in Spittal Street. He is said to be in a serious condition.

Det Sgt Richard Earl, investigating officer, said: “This was a nasty incident which has left one man in hospital. “This took place on the street near a pub and so there were likely to have been people about who could have seen what happened and can help us with our inquiry.

“We would urge anyone who has any information about this incident to contact us as soon as possible.”

The pub was taped off by police this morning but has since reopened for business. A section of Dean Street car park was taped off.

Landlord of the Cross Keys pub, Michael Kellas, said: “When we closed up there was a fight going on in the car park. We called the police. The fight lasted about two minutes and then everyone went.”

He added: “Sadly when people leave if something happens outside it is beyond our control.”

Manager of Villa D’Este next door, Mr. A. R Oliveira said when they left the restaurant at 11.30pm it was quiet.

He said: “When we came in this morning and saw the police tape we were surprised. It was nothing to do with us.”

And he said since the pub has had bouncers on the door at night there seemed to have been little trouble. The monthly Sunday Market was held today in the Dean Street car park.

The market organiser Tricia Farnell said the police cordon has really affected business.

She said: “I would think there would be a 50% knock on to our business. It was a shock coming in this morning.

“The whole car park was cordoned off at first.”

She said they were allowed on half of the car park and she has been helping people park all morning. Anyone with any information about the incident is asked to contact Det Sgt Earl on the non-emergency number 101 or call the charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at crimestoppers-uk.org.

My god you dont half talk rubbish! "The trouble is spreading to Marlow". Well no. It seems to be spreading to one particular pub in Marlow, namely the one above. The rest of the town is fine.

And I personally do not agree with the publicasns problems.

The whole reason we (the public) have to have extra doctors, nurses, paramedics and police working on the weekend is because people like him think they can let anyone into their premises, get them drunk and when its closing time boot them out and leave everyone else to mop up the mess.

These places should pay a levy if they wish to open past midnight, 1am, 2am etc. The later you open the more you pay.

The times of being able to take peoples money and boot them out the door to let the police deal with should be over.

I agree with you entirely, realist. There never used to be bouncers/doormen on this pub's door but nowadays it seems there have been various vicious incidents for a while now. I wonder why that is.
.
And please take no notice of that nasty fictitious creature and proven liar Ima Bigot , as he/she/it is only on this site to provoke people by writing and issuing the crass groundless stupid things he/she/it writes.

This is quite clearly an isolated incident.

Use of the verb "spreading" in the context of what's happened here is ludicrous and shows beyond any doubt that Ivor is a complete and utter nutcase who lives in a world inhabited only by himself

Ivor you really are a delusional fool. From what I can see from your 'blog', or as I like to call it, 'one anally retentive man's ridiculous view of High Wycombe - and society', you would quite happily have a town with no pubs. This I may add does not touch on you're economically suicidal views on planning and property laws.

I had long since stopped responding to you idiotic posts, alas you have irritated me to such a degree that the verbal effluence is again too much to stand.

'The troubles' you refer to, and I do know a policeman for TVP, I have been asked to personally apologise to you for the lack of snatch land rovers on the streets of Bucks in recent years, some inconsiderate fool put them in Northern Ireland and Afghanistan, I'll leave you to write, an insightful 'Blog' (see above) on this, clearly, you'd put this in words better than I.

The fact of the matter is that when you were that age, this did happen and probably on a much bigger scale. The fact that you didn't know about it is either down to you not being interested in the local politics and buildings of your historic town, some people call it 'being young'. Others would say that media outlets such as this, that actually give a voice to everyone (proved by your 'blog' that this is a very dangerous practice) allows people to better follow the news.


But consider this, the laws made by YOUR generation and people like YOU voting, have made the country what it is today.

This "Pub" is receiving an unfair advantage over other pubs who respect their neighbours. Its about time the backhanders stopped and they were reigned in.
