Hereford takeaway could lose licence after brawl involving staff

A Hereford takeaway could lose its late-night food licence after staff got involved in a brawl with a customer.

Police were called to an “altercation” within Munchies in Commercial Road on the night of December 15 which spilled out onto the street, according to police licensing officer PC Dean Wall.

PC Wall said the pizza and chicken takeaway’s licence holder Ako Rasoul, his licensed doorman and other staff had ejected a man on the night after he refused to leave his drink outside.

Colleagues from neighbouring businesses got involved and “an affray” started, in which the unnamed man received multiple kicks to the head.

“The doorman has looked on and done nothing as the victim has been repeatedly beaten,” PC Wall’s report says, adding that police are currently investigating a possible offence of actual bodily harm.

His report calls on Herefordshire Council’s licencing subcommittee to review the premises licence, which currently lets it serve hot food until 3.30am each night.
