SEVEN men have been jailed after a sickening nightclub brawl.

The group were sentenced at Bolton Crown Court over the incident at Lush, on Haymarket Street, Bury.

Bottles and bricks were thrown and one man was stabbed as the gang rampaged throughout the club on April 12 last year.

The scuffle broke out outside the toilets and spread to the smoking area as horrified clubbers watched on.

At one point CCTV footage captures a man lying on the floor, unconscious, while one of the gang appears to hit him with a brick.

The violence only ended when the group realised they were cornered by security staff and left the club laughing and joking together.

Omar Din, 21, of Arley Avenue, Bury, was jailed for 20 months for violent disorder, 16 months for possession of a bladed article and one month for obstructing a police officer.

 Mohammed Din, 36, of the same address, was jailed for 10 months for affray.

Disorder

Warren Machin, 21, of Elizabeth Street, Cheetham Hill, was sentenced to 14 months for violent disorder and three months for possession of a bladed article.

Richard Smith, 28, of Pegwell Drive, Lower Broughton, was jailed for 14 months for violent disorder.

Aldaire Warmington and Lincoln Warmington, both 22 and of Summerville Road, Salford, were given 14 months for violent disorder.

Lenroy Hazel, 52, of Rochdale Old Road, Bury, was sentenced to 12 months for violent disorder and 16 months for possessing an offensive weapon.

Hazel was also sentenced for separate matters and given three years each for possession of a class A drug with intent to supply and supplying a class A drug to run concurrently and consecutively with the other matters, totalling five years and four months.

All of them had pleaded guilty  at earlier hearings.

Det Con Dave Looby, of Bury CID, said: "This fight was absolutely shocking and must have been incredibly frightening for the many innocent clubbers, who were simply out to enjoy their night.

"This group of men are pathetic, carrying knives and endangering themselves and other people like this and I am pleased to see they are now all where they belong."
