A man has been shot after two masked men burst into a Sheffield pub on Tuesday last week.

The 34-year-old victim has since been discharged from hospital after undergoing surgery, following the attack at the Sicey Hotel in Shiregreen at around 10.10pm.

The two masked men entered the pub through the main public doors and fired shots towards the bar area. Police said they believed the attackers then fled in a car in the direction of Firth Park.

Thug banned from pubs for second year

A thug has been banned from 18 Pubwatch pubs in Northwich, Cheshire ­ just weeks after a previous ban came to an end.

The 21-year-old from Comberbach, who has not been named, was originally given a 12-month ban in January 2004 for a violent act in a pub.

His ban ended last month, but he has been barred for a further year for his aggressive and violent behaviour towards staff at the Green Dragon on 22 January.

Pubwatch chairman Jerry Hart said 14 people are currently banned from all Pubwatch pubs.

"It shows that we are taking note of the troublemakers by giving these bans out," said Hart, Punch tenant of the Beehive pub.

Bar worker threatened in armed raid

A bar worker was threatened with a firearm during a raid on a Leicestershire pub on Tuesday last week.

The raiders fled in a car with cash and a black Toshiba laptop. One of the attackers was wearing a light-blue canvas jacket. The other was wearing a black leather jacket.

Failure to find killers prompts reward
