He told us: “I was walking down Hill Street behind a group of 15.
“When it met Rose Street, another group of 10 joined them. They smashed the bottles they were carrying against the church wall. I counted four bats. They all charged off in direction of the GFT. They must have been aged around 11 to 14. Great sight for city tourism.”
