I was woken at 1.20 with men shouting at the top of their voice at each other and having a brawl. Unfortunatley this was just out of view of my window, I have most of the shouting on the video though. Girls were shrieking at the top of their voice to try and stop the fight. One girl got caught by a punch. This was ongoing with the men being broken up by their friends, the police eventually arrived in a police van. Someone was taken off by an ambulance. The rest of the people were loitering around the street shouting and waking the residents.
The girl who had a punch thrown at her, drunk off her face, another male and a girl walked straight past me as I was filming and started hurling abuse at me. The girl who had the punch thrown at her said "Oy what the fuck are you doing, Guess what fuck you" and stuck her finger up at me. Great footage!! The drunk girl then went to the other side of the road, sat down and started crying. Another ambulance then pulled up and took her in. She was in there for about half an hour. She seemed pretty fine when she was throwing abuse at me! What a waste of the paramedics' time and taxpayer money.
Her friends (about 6 of them loitered around while the ambulance was there) being antisocial. When the ambulance left the girl was given a red blanket by the paramedic. She then started hurling abuse at her friends and punched one of the males in the face. One of the residents above my flat shouted down at the group to tell them to leave however one of the men shouted back "Fuckin' come down here, innit". They then walked off back towards Mango's front door.
At the same time as this two men were also having a verbal fight with one of the men (guy in white top) trying to start a fight with another friend.
My camera ran out of battery but from 3am until 3.30am a group of men were chanting Bhangra songs at the top of their voices and clapping their hands. Unfortunately I didn't get any of this on camera. I finally got to sleep at 4am.

Satuarday 21st February was just like the Friday night. I was woken at 2.15am by a fight, men shouting and swearing at the top of their voices on the corner of Artichoke Hill and Pennington Street. The fight was over within two minutes. A Silver Mercedes accelerated at full speed away after the fight.
My wife and I were waken up both Friday and Saturday night. It seems to be getting more violent. These people seem to be more drunk as well. I don't understand why nothing has been done yet with all of this evidence.
Thanks for the comment. I don't understand why it seems to carry on and, as you say, get worse. Keep a close eye on the blog over the next couple of weeks. A request is about to be lodged with the council for Mango's license to be reviewed. We'll put up a post letting you know how to make your views known to the licensing authorities.
