A college has been placed under lockdown after a violent fight erupted between a gang of men.

Doncaster College was evacuated at lunchtime after police were called to the building on Chappell Drive.

Emergency services, including an ambulance, were all seen at the scene with one person suffering a hand injury.

One student told Metro: ‘I was walking outside of the building and I saw one of the men with a knife swinging it around attempting to stab somebody.

‘Security were already outside trying to prevent anyone from getting hurt. The building was placed into lockdown as soon as the police were called.

‘I think it’s gang related with some of the college students.’

South Yorkshire Police said: ‘Officers have been deployed to Doncaster College where they have detained four males following reports of an altercation between a group of males.
