Fifteen men have been arrested following a brawl in Runcorn.
Acting Superintendent Simon Tayler says it would be alleged that the motive for the fight, involving more than 50 people, was a power struggle between two groups of people involved in the Brisbane Sikh Temple in Eight Mile Plains.
Sergeant Wade Domagala described the incident as a “frenzied attack” and told the court there were allegations of previous threats being made to gain control of the Sikh temple’s committee.
