H-Bar in Liverpool closed by licensing officials
Friday, 12 September 2008
Natasha Hamilton’s pub has been closed following two knife attacks.
The Atomic Kitten star opened H-Bar in Liverpool with her husband Riad Erraji last November.
But last week licensing officials shut it down after one man was stabbed in the thigh and another twice in the arm.
‘There are people using the bar who we recognise as being involved in local organised crime,’ said PC Stuart Moor of Merseyside Police.
'Police have concerns that there is a likelihood of a further attack if someone wants to get revenge.
'This is why we have put an emergency order in place to close the venue.’
But Natasha, 26, who is currently recording a new single in New York, says she will appeal.
‘This was a relatively minor incident by comparison to some of the terrible knife crime we read about every day,’ she tells the Daily Express.
‘But despite that we had already taken steps to increase security ahead of this weekend. It is completely unnecessary to shut us down.
'I am disgusted there were stabbings in my bar and will co-operate fully to ensure it will not happen again.
