Police are hunting the gang of Father Christmases who were seen fighting in central Norwich. The Santas clashed with another group of men, described as Asian or African, on a busy street in the city centre. One man was taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge with head injuries and another needed stitches after receiving cuts to his face in the skirmish. The trouble continued with small pockets of disorder reported in the city. A police spokesman said: "The incident involved two groups of males. One of the groups were all dressed as Father Christmas, the other group were described as being of dark-skinned African or Asian appearance." One man has been arrested in connection with the incident. In 2004 police were forced to arrest five people when an annual charity run in Newtown, Wales, involving 4,000 Santas, ended in fighting.
