A group of more than 20 men and youths, some brandishing weapons, were involved in a fight that spilled out from a Leatherhead recreation ground into the road.

Three men have been arrested following the incident, which happened between 6.20pm and 7.30pm on Friday, September 11, when two groups of youths became involved in an altercation – but police are appealing for more witnesses to come forward.

The alleged incident began at the Kingston Road recreation ground when a tall man with black, spiky hair and a white top struck the windscreen of a red Rover car being driven by a 17-year-old youth from Epsom.

The driver, accompanied by another teenager, allegedly returned to the recreation ground in the car shortly afterwards and confronted a group of around 15 other youths, who brandished several weapons.

They ran back to the car but, as they drove away, a brick was thrown by their pursuers, damaging the vehicle.

The pair then allegedly drove to Epsom and picked up three other youths before returning to the recreation ground.

They allegedly threatened the group already in the park and chased them, with the incident spilling out of the park area and onto Kingston Road.

The five youths returned to the red Rover and drove away in the direction of Chessington.

A 21-year-old man from Leatherhead and two 17-year-olds youths from Epsom were arrested for affray, but police would like to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the incident.

Anyone with information should call Surrey Police on 0845 125 2222 quoting ref MV/09/4261, or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 if they wish to remain anonymous.
