Eight youths have been arrested after a 20-man brawl at Preston Bus Station last night.

Police were originally called to a disturbance at the city's Iceland store at around 3.25pm where it was reported that six youths were verbally abusing a mother and her child.

Just minutes later, a group of 20 white and Asian males were then found to be brawling at the bus station.

Police arrested five men at the scene and later arrested three more on suspicion of affray and public order offences.

It is believed that no one was injured in the brawl.

Police Community Support Officers patrolled the bus station and the surrounding area following the incident.

Police have not confirmed whether the incident was racially motivated.
