TWO men needed hospital treatment after a fight outside a nightclub.

The brawl broke out about 1.30am yesterday, outside The Deck nightclub, in Redcar.

The two were fighting against a group of four or five other men when one was knocked unconscious to the floor.

He was taken to The James Cook University Hospital, in Middlesbrough, with a suspected broken jaw. The other man was also treated for facial injuries.

Police are appealing for witnesses, in particular a taxi driver seen close by. He is described as tanned, in his early 40s and was driving a white people carrier.

Anyone with information is asked to call Redcar police, on 01642-302626, or Crimestoppers, on 0800-555-111.
