A bar in Brixton has blamed rising violence in south London on black youngsters, claiming many clubs in the area have been forced out of business.

In a post on their Facebook page Fridge Bar, which is owned by a black woman, warned that unless young black people ‘learn to conduct themselves in a civil manner’ they face being barred from venues.

The post claims 13 clubs have closed ‘in the past couple of years’, because of violence.

The author of the post, who warned it was a ‘controversial’ message, said: ‘The absolute majority of people who have disrupted theses venues are black men and increasingly some black women.

‘There, I said it. It is true, I have witnessed it and there is both anecdotal and empirical evidence that what I say is true.

‘I know some will say that it is a “minority” doing the damage but I disagree.

‘The minority know that they have the support of the majority who fail to call them out when their behaviour becomes awful.’

It adds: ‘It seems that the decent black people of whom there are many are losing the fight.

‘We need to take back control and start to ostracise the b******s who are giving us all a terrible name.

The 300-capacity bar in Brixton Hill, which regularly hosts House, RnB and Disco nights, hit out at media reports covering the controversial post, in a second message on the social networking site.

Police investigating the fatal shooting of a man in a West End nightclub on Boxing Day have released pictures of two people they would like to talk to.

Officers are appealing for information on the whereabouts of Danny Walker, 32, and Gavin Allen, 30.

The public are asked not to approach the men but to call the police on 999 if they see them.

31-year-old Hassan Isman Omer died after being shot several times in Avalon nightclub on Shaftesbury Avenue in the early hours of 26th December.

A woman has been left frightened for her life after a man threatened to hurt her if she did not hand over money.

Three men turned up at her house on the 3/4 estate, in Vange, after-dark.

They demanded money from her and used verbal intimidation and threats, leaving the woman, who is in her 50s, terrified.

After leaving empty-handed, the trio fled in a blacked-out Range Rover.

The incident took place shortly before 8pm on Saturday, November 16.

Police have only just released details.

Officers have spent the past month persuading the victim to put together an e-fit image of one of the men.

Police refused to reveal which street the incident took place on in order to protect the woman.

Dc Rob Lewis, investigating officer, said: This woman has been left absolutely petrified and is fearful for her life. We ask people to take a look at this man in the efit and provide us with his name so that we can arrest him and then look for his accomplices who all need to be taken off the streets.”

One of the men is described as being of mixed race and aged in his 20s.

He had two distinctive gold upper front teeth and spoke with a London accent.

His two accomplices were black.
