TWO men wielding a machete and a sword burst into a Coventry pub.
Around 35 people were enjoying a Saturday night drink in the Devonshire Arms, in Seawall Highway, Wyken, when the two men stormed in wrestling the doormen.
An eye-witness, who had been at the pub with friends contacted the Times.
The witness, who wishes to remain anonymous, said: “It was about half-past 10 when two men burst into the pub, fighting off the security guards at the door.
“One was carrying either a machete or a large sword and the second guy was definitely carrying a machete.
“There was a great, big, kerfuffle at the door, but the management were just fantastic.
“They managed to keep everyone calm and some of the customers even helped the bouncers push the men back out.
“It happened quite quickly, it was over in five minutes, but I didn’t feel threatened.
“The men were shouting something, but because of the music we couldn’t hear what they were saying.”
A spokesman for the pub said: “The Devonshire Arms is a popular and friendly local pub and this was a completely isolated and unmotivated incident involving a small group that had been refused entry by our door supervisors.
“Some of the group used force to temporarily enter the pub, but were quickly made to leave by the quick actions of the door team.
“We have contacted Police and provided CCTV footage to them to help with their investigations.”
