A club statement read: “Sunday night’s event, which had arguably one of the best atmospheres we have ever seen in our club, unfortunately ended abruptly around 4am.

“A disagreement between two groups of males was diffused effectively by our security with the help of Northants Police.

“Both groups were ejected separately and most importantly we ensured the full safety of the staff and public during the incident.

“Unfortunately what carried out into the street was beyond our control and was an appalling act of behaviour.
