A CITY centre pub manager is recovering after her arm was broken by a pool cue when she tried to separate fighters in a brawl.

The 24-year-old, who runs Hogan's Bar in Stoney Lane, Sunderland, was hit by the wooden cue during a closing time riot on Monday, February 26.

Police called to the fight at the time have only heard of the extent of the woman's injuries in the past few days.

Anyone in the bar that night who saw anything should contact Sunderland CID on 0191- 454 7555.
