At that time - outside the Bull Rodizio Restaurant and Bar - a man sustained injuries to his back and hand after allegedly being assaulted with an "object".
As he attempted to flee towards London Road, a second suspect attempted to block him off.
A 26-year-old man has since been arrested and placed on police bail.
Investigator Daryl Allwood said: “Our enquiries into this incident are continuing, and we are appealing for anyone with information to please come forward.
