One person was seriously injured on Sunday morning after a disorder incident outside a popular Hastings Bar, just hours before it was set to close for good.
Police responded at 12.45am to reports that a person had been assaulted outside a bar on South Karamu Rd, Hastings.
A Hawke’s Bay Today photographer at the scene saw that the bar mentioned was Bar 2013 (formerly Billy’s Bar), which was celebrating its final night after deciding not to renew its lease.
“On arrival, a number of people were involved in a disorder incident. Police worked to disperse the people involved,” a police spokesperson said.
A Hato Hone St John spokesperson said one ambulance attended the incident and staff assessed, treated, and transported one patient to Hawke’s Bay Hospital in a serious condition.
