Doncaster College was evacuated as police investigated the incident on Wednesday

Three people have been charged following a fight that saw Doncaster College evacuated.

Officers were called to the campus on Chappell Drive just after 12:30 GMT on Wednesday following reports of an altercation between a group of males.

The site was evacuated as a precaution, with a knife recovered during searches, South Yorkshire Police said.

Daniel Heeley, 21, is charged with affray and possession of a bladed article on school premises, while Kai Singherra, 20, and a 17-year-old boy are charged with offences under the Public Order Act.

Mr Heeley, of no fixed address, remained in police custody and was due to appear before Doncaster magistrates on Friday.

Mr Singherra, of Mexborough, and the 17-year-old who cannot be named are also charged with possession of a controlled drug, and have been bailed to appear before magistrates on 10 April.

Three other people arrested - two boys aged 17 and an 18-year-old man - have been released with no further action.

Officers from the Doncaster central neighbourhood policing team have been conducting extra patrols since the incident and will be at the college to provide reassurance.
