Raptor North officers have seized multiple firearms and charged six people with various firearm, drug and assault offences, following an investigation into an alleged assault at a Newcastle pub in February this year.
About 4.30pm on Saturday 18 February 2023, a 36-year-old man had been asked to leave the premises by a staff member.
the man became argumentative and grabbed the female employee’s arm before throwing a glass at the wall.
A brawl then started inside the hotel for a short time before the man and three others left.
About two hours later, the four men returned and assaulted a number of patrons in the carpark of the premises, including a 33-year-old man – unknown to them – who was knocked unconscious.
He was taken to John Hunter Hospital for treatment.
The four men left the hotel in a vehicle prior to police arrival.
