Chaos on UK streets at closing time on first Saturday since 10 pm curfew

Chaotic scenes in Nottingham city centre on the first Saturday (September 26th) since the introduction of a 10 pm curfew for bars and pubs in England.

Police had already dispersed large queues outside of one pub called the South Bank before all bars in the city began to empty at 10 pm.

The streets were packed with people dancing, fighting and stumbling about.

One drinker said that the new measures made social distancing more difficult as everyone was emerging onto the street at the same time.
