0 Comments Abbotsford Police were called out to deal with a brawl at the newly renovated Station Pub and Restaurant on Saturday Night.

Officers arrived around 11:30 p.m. to find the melee was over, the pub a mess, and seven people injured – some with cuts to the head from beer bottles, said Sgt. Elly Sawchuk.

Three were transported to Abbotsford Regional Hospital with non-life threatening injuries,

“Around 15 to 20 patrons who all seem to know each other were involved in a donnybrook,” she said.

Five suspects involved in the fight fled before police arrived.

However, the pub has begun using the Bar Watch security system, and officers have all the suspects’ pictures and names, said Sgt. Daffydd Hermann while on scene.

Police are pleased to see the security system in place, he said.

Police are also reviewing video evidence and talking to witnesses.

Darrell Dermann, head of security at the pub, said he and his staff tried to deny entry to about 10 men that had caused problems in the pub in the past.

However, the manager overruled the staff and let the men into the bar, said Dermann.

“Bottles got thrown, I got smashed over the head with a bottle and a chair. My partner got smashed in the face. His face is all cut up.”

“The whole door staff, except one guy, has quit because of this. It’s just not worth ten dollars an hour.”

The manager of the Station Pub was unavailable for comment before the Abbotsford News press deadline on Monday.

Police have located some suspects, and plan to interview other witnesses before determining charges, said Hermann.

Although some of the suspects have minor criminal records the fight is not believed to be gang related, said Hermann.

“There is no gang affiliation we’re aware of, they’re just local boys who got into a fight,” he said.
