Pub stripped of licence after baton attack applies to reopen again

A PUB stripped of its licence after a “horrifying” baton attack involving a bouncer has applied to reopen.

- 

Sandwell Council shut down the Prince of Wales in West Bromwich High Street, right, after the incident involving unlicensed door staff and patrons in November last year.

In December, the local authority's licensing committee stripped 69-year-old owner Rajinder Singh, who has run the pub for more than two decades, of his licence over the “horrific” incident saying “serious crime and disorder” had taken place.

An application for a new licence to reopen the West Bromwich pub has now been made by Balbinder Singh.
