Investigations into 50-person Wolverhampton brawl still ongoing
Investigations are continuing into a 50-person brawl which saw four police officers injured.
The incident took place on Ruskin Road just before 5pm on Wednesday July 20, with locals saying the scenes were the result of children 'running around with knives'.
Rikki Burton, of Westcroft Avenue, Wolverhampton, has been charged in connection with the brawl - with criminal damage, possessing an article of police uniform and theft from a motor vehicle.
