Violent disorder in Maidstone town centre

CCTV images have been issued by officers investigating a fight involving several people in the centre of Maidstone.

The fight happened in Gabriel’s Hill between two groups of men, at around 11.50pm on 21 January 2022.

Officers who were on patrol attended the scene and located one of the suspects who had suffered a facial injury. When he was searched, a metal wrench was found in his possession and he was arrested on suspicion of affray.

Others who were involved had left the area before police arrived, including one man who is alleged to have been repeatedly kicked in the head and face whilst on the floor.

The man arrested, aged 35 from Maidstone, was later released from custody, but remains under investigation.
