Bingo turned violent in Torquay this month as a fight broke out among six women during the middle of a game.
Witnesses say there were “chairs flying through the air”. The police were called and an ambulance was also on site treating the injuries of two women involved in the brawl.
“It's not the sort of thing you expect to see at the bingo. It was vicious,” one player told This is Devon.
“There had been a disagreement in the foyer before we started playing. The game was interrupted by these two groups talking and arguing.”
They added: “The next thing I saw was one girl practically flying off her chair. I don't know if it was because somebody had punched her or she was going for somebody else.”
There were no arrests; however each of the women was banned for life from every Gala Bingo.
A spokesman for Gala Bingo said: “We can confirm there was an incident at our club on October 17.
“Gala Bingo has a zero tolerance towards any violence in our clubs and the members involved will be barred from our clubs.”
