DJs are attacked after playing at youth club
TWO DJs were seriously injured when a private party at a Kentish Town youth club ended in violence on Saturday night.
The two men, aged 20 and 24, were treated in hospital after they were dragged from their car under a hail of stones and half-bricks by a large group of teenagers who had heard them play a gig at Maitland Park estate tenants hall in Grafton Terrace.
The younger man suffered a broken cheekbone in the attack.
Police are investigating what triggered the violence outside the hall, which has recently been converted into the council-run Gospel Oak Youth Access Point.
“It was appalling, it sounded as if the poor man was being beaten to death,” said one woman, whose flat overlooks the youth club. “The car was completely smashed, every window was broken. This wasn’t the first time. Sometimes there are hundreds of people in the street before these parties.”
Holborn-based Detective Constable Danny Smith said the two DJs, from Barnet, had no connection with Camden and that he was looking into why the party at the venue had apparently ended early.
Det Con Smith, who is appealing for witnesses to come forward, added: “For some reason the party came to an end and as these two gentlemen from another borough were just going backward and forward from their car, people started throwing bricks and missiles.” |
