Drone footage has shown a large police presence after residents reported a "brawl" breaking out in Shrewsbury on Friday, January 5.

Police have since confirmed that two men, believed to be football rivals, have been arrested after reports of a "brawl" in Shrewsbury on Friday night.

Police said that two men, aged 18 and 36, have been arrested on suspicion of affray following disorder in Shrewsbury on Friday night.

Harlescott resident Bob Griffiths said at around 9pm, Ellesmere Road seemed to have "erupted into a sea of angry voices", before breaking out into what sounded like a "full brawl".

Mr Griffiths said police soon responded and Ellesmere Road was closed to traffic, with "ten plus" police vehicles in attendance.
