Police cordon inside York pub after 'extremely rare incident' sees 'ruccus' kick off
A York pub's tap room has been taped off after an 'extremely rare incident' caused a 'ruccus' to kick off. The Victoria, on Heslington Road, was taped off by North Yorkshire Police last night, Saturday, June 21. The pub has apologised to its punters and all who may have attended, and experienced the 'abuse and violence'. A 'ruccus' kicked off after a window was smashed above where two regulars were sitting in the tap room. The pub offered a 'special call out' to the pair sitting beneath the window frame.

The pub issued a statement on social media, informing punters that it will only open the tap room once the force has attended - even if this means having to sit guests outside. Condemning last night's antics, pub management said: "After a rare incident in the Vic last evening, we are still awaiting police scene of crimes to attend . We are hoping that this is before our regular opening time of 2pm. "If this is not the case entry will be only possible via our beer garden or the Heslington Road entrance. But we will advice as we get further information. "We will of course keep you posted as and when. Can we apologise to any patrons in last night who witnessed the incident and a special call out to our two avid regulars Bob and Dave who despite the ruccus and enduring windows being broken above them still managed to finish the Guinness. "This is an extremely rare incident for the Vic and hopefully this has not put the parents and potential freshers from choosing York University for their studies as it is a great place and lovely city. "Abuse and violence towards, my staff, customers and myself will not be tolerated under any circumstance. Its gonna be another warm day and our beer garden is not affected so 'come on down' at 2pm."
