Two people were arrested and two hospitalised following a large and violent altercation at a Bingo Loco event at a Cork hotel on Saturday night.

Videos circulating online appear to show a large brawl breaking out during Bingo Loco at the Rochestown Park Hotel in Douglas.

A man in his 50s and a woman in her 20s were arrested at the hotel, while two men were taken to hospital for treatment.

One video appears to show several men and women fighting and crashing through tables and chairs while a separate video taken outside the back entrance of the hotel shows several separate fights occurring simultaneously.

Some of those involved were dressed up for Halloween.

A Garda spokesperson said two men were taken to Cork University Hospital for treatment for minor injuries following the fight.
