A WOMAN suffered a broken nose and a man sustained facial injuries after a fracas outside a Billericay nightspot.
The 27-year-old woman was taken to hospital after the incident, which took place outside The Ivory Rooms in Laindon Road at about 1.30am on Sunday, January 20.
The man needed treatment at the scene for his injuries.
A resident of Quilters Drive said: "There was a lot of commotion and the noise woke my husband and I up.
"We've put double glazing in since the bar got its late-night licence as there are often people shouting outside."
Police officers attended the scene and arrested five men.
Two men, aged 24 and 25, from Rainham, were arrested for affray.
A 23-year-old man and a 25-year-old man from Hornchurch were arrested for affray and assault.
Another man from Hornchurch, aged 23, was also arrested for affray.
All of them have been interviewed and released on bail until March 24, pending further inquiries.
PC Keith Corry said: "Our investigation is continuing and we are particularly keen to talk to anyone else who witnessed what happened.
"This occurred between 1.20am to 1.30am on the day in question and a lot of people would have been leaving the venue at that time."
Anyone with information is urged to call police on 101.
