Police would also remind the public to be mindful of their conduct while under the influence of alcohol.
Sergeant McBain, Lurgan NPT, advised: “It only takes one punch to hurt or even kill another person. If people indulge in too much alcohol they can often find themselves acting in a manner which they normally wouldn’t.
“We do not want anyone to find themselves in a situation where they are out of their depth. We would ask everyone to drink responsibly and take a step back from any situation where you feel things are getting out of control.
“If you need assistance or advice, police are available by phoning 0845 600 8000.”
