SIX men have been bailed following a bar fight in which two men were seriously injured.

Lewisham police found a man with stab wounds and a man with head injuries in Grove Street, Deptford, in the early hours of February 16.

They discovered two machetes and a small fire extinguisher, with blood on it, in the gutter opposite Hoang's bar after cordoning off the area.

One of the machetes also had blood on it, a police spokesman said.

The injured men, aged 42 and 31, are in hospital with injuries not thought to be life threatening.

They are both Vietnamese and are believed to be brothers.

Six men, all Vietnamese, were arrested on suspicion of affray following the incident and have been bailed to return to a south London police station in April.
