Investigation following brawl at Balmoral Show

An investigation is to take place after a video of a fight at the Balmoral Show emerged online.

The footage, which could last night be viewed on Facebook, showed a large group of people involved in a brawl in a tent area.

The video showed security staff arriving in the area and pulling those involved apart.

At least two men on the video can be seen with blood on their faces.

The Royal Ulster Agricultural Society last night said there would be an investigation into the incident.

In a statement, the RUAS said: "There was an altercation at the bar area, which was quickly brought under control by the event security personnel and we believe no one was seriously injured.

"It is sad that a few people resorted to this behaviour when tens of thousands of people enjoyed a fun family day out.

"The Society will be fully investigating this matter and appropriate action taken".
