The incident broke out soon after 7 p.m. in Pawlu Debono Street and also involved a number of other people, including women.

A knife and a metal pipe were used in the fight.

The police said two of the men, aged 23 and 57, suffered serious head injuries while the other three were slightly injured and released from hospital after treatment. They were, however, kept under arrest.

Police investigations are continuing.
