Police have released CCTV images after a man threatened nightclub staff in Buxton with a gun.

The incident happened at the Level 2 nightclub on Buxton Market Place at around 3.10am on Friday 18 March.

Door staff ejected a man from inside the club after a disturbance which saw a member of staff being assaulted.
