The Seven Bar, in Wednesbury

The Seven Bar in Wednesbury had its licence revoked in June after West Midlands Police detailed a history of violence at the Lower High Street venue.

Customers have claimed there is a "fight in there every week" and over a 12-month period police attended the venue to deal with serious crime on 26 occasions.

They included an incident where the pub allegedly continued to serve drinks while a stabbed man was slumped over the bar bleeding, and another where a man was jailed after ploughing his car into people outside.

Other incidents logged by police include victims being bitten, smashed in the head with a hammer and booted around the floor.
