Det Sgt Mark Dickinson, of Blackpool CID, said: “This was a reasonably large scale fight. It seems to have started with an altercation between a couple and it seems several passersby have stepped in and it’s turned into a brawl.

“We would urge anyone who saw what happened to come forward and call police on 101.
