A LOWESTOFT nightspot had to be closed by police after trouble flared, it emerged this week.
Greenfields, in Lowestoft High Street, was closed on the evening of Friday, February 26 after a man was injured and another man was arrested as officers issued a closure order amid concerns 'over the behaviour' of some patrons within the premises.
'Police were called to attend Lowestoft High Street following a report of a man with injuries standing outside Greenfields,' a police spokesman told The Journal.
Officers subsequently found a 23-year-old man who had suffered cuts to his face as he reported there had been an altercation inside Greenfields, as trouble flared in the venue.
