A MAN who was beaten in a Selby pub remains in a critical condition in hospital. The man, who is aged in his fifties, was found unconscious after an incident at JT Mellanby’s in Finkle Street at about 11.50pm on April 1.
Three men have been arrested and charged in connection with the attack. A 45-year-old man from Blackburn and a 32-year-old man from Bootle were both charged with affray. Bret Thorpe, 24, from Castleford was charged with affray and wounding with intent following the incident. He appeared before York Magistrates on April 3, and will appear before Crown Court.
Police applied to Selby District Council’s Licensing sub-committee for a review of the venue, which agreed to suspend the licence, ahead of a full licensing review. The pub has been closed until further notice.
