Merseyside Police confirmed the arrests on 28 April after officers were called to the facility on Arbour Lane, located on the Knowsley Industrial Estate, at approximately 6.10pm the previous evening.
The individuals arrested are a 46-year-old man from Brighton-le-Sands, identified as YouTuber Billy Moore, and a 53-year-old man from Netherley, identified as Paul Carragher. According to police, the altercation took place within the men’s changing room and was witnessed by members of the public, including children, who were present in the gym at the time.
