A MERCEDES has “ploughed into a crowd” following a fight in a pub car park as two men have been arrested.
Merseyside Police were called just before 11.20pm on August 1 to the Oxton Bar and Kitchen on Claughton Firs, Oxten, following reports of an “ongoing disturbance”.

The two men are said to have got into a car and attempted to leave the car park which allegedly caused “significant damage” to the car park gate.
One of the men is then said to have become involved in a fight with another group of men.
The Mercedes is then said to have been driven off with one of the men inside and is believed to have been involved in a crash with a number of members of the public.
So far, no one has come forward to report they have been injured, cops said.
The second man is thought to have fled the scene.
Two men, aged 21 and 26, have since been arrested and the car has been located.
A 21-year-old man from Wirral has been arrested on suspicion of s18 grievous bodily harm with intent, five counts of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm with intent, dangerous driving, driving while unfit through drink, failing to stop after a road accident and affray.
A 26-year-old man from Wirral has been arrested on suspicion of six counts of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm with intent, driving while unfit through drink, failing to stop after a road accident, criminal damage and affray.
Both are currently in custody while enquiries continue.
Detective Inspector Sarah Wilkinson said: “We know the Oxton Bar and Kitchen would have been busy last night and believe a number of people would have witnessed or been involved in this incident.
“At this stage no-one has come forward to police to report they were injured.
“Enquiries are also being carried out with hospitals in the local area but as yet we have not identified anyone who may have been involved.
“I would ask anyone who was at the bar last night and was either directly involved or witnessed the incident to come forward and speak to us.”
