Fighting over boat races

Fighting erupted at a Hamilton bar during a dispute over the outcome of a series of boat races. Police were called to Robin Hood and found a blue taser ? a small gun that releases electrical currents.

An eyewitness who wished to remain anonymous told that the evening had started off in good humour.

After the boat races, the winners posed for pictures taken by Bermynet. Later fighting broke out by the terrace over who won the races. The source blamed the problem on young people having too much to drink.

After the Police arrived the crowd left and no one was arrested.

Investigations are taking place.
