A STREET brawl in Bourton-on-the-Water involved up to 12 youths fighting and using abusive language outside the Beatrix Potter shop on High Street.

Worried witnesses phoned police about the violent scene at 8pm.

However, police spokesman Matt Ford said: "By the time the police arrived there was no fighting going on and it was all quiet.

"The youths probably ran off when they heard the police had been called."

"If anyone has got any information about this incident we would like to hear from them."
