Doormen who stepped in to stop a horrific street stabbing are set to receive a police commendation for their bravery.

Bouncers at the Town House pub, in Market Street, Ely, stepped in to help after the violence flared in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Three men were stabbed in the incident, which happened at 1.24am, but police say the doormen’s courageous intervention prevented further injuries.

Inspector Andy Bartlett, from Ely police station, said: “If it were not for the door staff, I have no doubt there would have been another stabbing.

“The incident had nothing to do with the pub, but their staff and one of their patrons acted with bravery and courage to stop another person from being stabbed.

“I will be calling for a commendation for their brave actions during this incident.”

Two 17-year-olds from Ely were arrested on suspicion of assault. They have been released on bail and will return to Ely police station for further questioning on September 8.

A total of four men were injured in the attack. Three were taken to Addenbrooke’s hospital and the other was treated at the scene.
