Police arrest five teenagers after mass brawl breaks out and man hospitalised following two incidents between Chesterfield and Staveley

Derbyshire Police were called to the park at Inkersall Green Road following reports of a fight involving a large group of young people – just before 7.40pm on Monday, August 21.

Around the same time, officers were also called to Castleton Grove, at Inkersall, after a man in his 20s had suffered an injury to his hand. He was taken to hospital for treatment for his injuries. It is believed the two incidents are linked.

Five boys were arrested in connection with the incident – three aged 16, one aged 15 and one aged 14. They have since been released on police bail with conditions while enquiries continue.

Officers from the safer neighbourhood policing team are carrying our regular patrols in the area for community reassurance, and residents are encouraged to raise any concerns with officers.
