A bar in Kingston faces a licensing hearing later this morning after a man was stabbed in the neck in the early hours of Christmas Eve.

Owners of Barcadia in Clarance Street will be called before a Kingston Council licensing sub-committee at the Guildhall today at 10.30am.

The review comes after a 24-year-old man was taken to hospital with lacerations to the neck after a fight broke out inside the club the early hours of Tuesday, December 24.

The patient was discharged later that day. Two men, aged 18 and 19, were arrested in connection with the assault. Both have been bailed until January.
