A Lewisham bar has been banned from using glass cups and bottles after two people were stabbed during a street brawl over the weekend.
Bar Nuvo, on Lewisham High Street, has had five licensing conditions imposed after an urgent review following Saturday’s knife fight.
A 22-year-old was stabbed in the head and back during the brawl outside Tesco Express which started at around 3am.
A second man was also taken to hospital with minor injuries.
