Northamptonshire Police are appealing for information after an assault took place outside the Bada Bing Lounge on Wellingborough Road in Northampton. The incident, which occurred between 3:15am and 3:30am on Sunday 5 April 2026, involved a group of up to seven males attacking two men, leaving one victim with facial injuries and a brief loss of consciousness.
On 30 April 2026, Northamptonshire Police released CCTV footage of two men they wish to speak with regarding the assault. Officers are urging anyone who may have witnessed the incident or who has information to come forward by quoting incident number 26000196039.
The Bada Bing Lounge, operated by Ernald Xhebexhia of Balkan Breeze Ltd, has been the subject of ongoing local authority action. The venue was built without planning permission in December 2023 on land owned by Rochmills Ltd.
Following a review by the Planning Inspectorate, which dismissed an appeal against a West Northamptonshire Council enforcement notice on 5 March 2026, the venue has been ordered to be demolished. The owners must remove the unauthorized structure and clear the site by 5 June 2026.
