Lukas Banys (20), Sarunas Galinis (19), Deividas Matusevici­us (19), Ricardas Bartos (23) and Kestutis Baranauska­s (21), all of Church Walk, Peterborou­gh, have been charged with affray in relation to an incident which happened outside Coco bar and restaurant in Broadway, Peterborou­gh in the early hours of Monday morning.

They are due to appear at Peterborou­gh Magistrate­s’ Court this morning.

Their arrests followed an incident which left two men injured outside Coco bar and restaurant at around 2.45am on Monday morning.

One of the two injured men, a 21-year-old man named locally as James Burke, is still fighting for his life in Addenbrook­e’s Hospital in Cambridge.

The second man, a 59-year-old, is described as having serious but not life-threatenin­g injuries.

He is still recovering and receiv- ing treatment in Peterborou­gh City Hospital.

A Cambridges­hire police spokeswoma­n said: “Detectives investigat­ing an assault on Broadway in Peterborou­gh have charged five men in connection with the incident.

“They will appear at Peterborou­gh Magistrate­s’ Court in the morning.”

Friends of James Burke took to the social networking website Twitter yesterday to urge people to “pray for James” while he remains in hospital.

In the wake of the incident, police have been studying CCTV footage from the area and have carried out extensive forensic examinatio­ns at the scene.

Cambridges­hire police officers and Scene of Crime Officers (SOCOS) worked behind a cordoned off area of Broadway all throughout the day on Monday to search for evidence.

Police have renewed their appeals for informatio­n into the incident.

Anyone with informatio­n that could help the police’s investigat­ion should call Cambridges­hire police on 101.

They can also call national crime fighting charity, Crimestopp­ers, anonymousl­y, on 0800 555 111.
