A DARWEN woman has been treated for a wrist injury after a group of 30 men descended on her house.
Police said the incident, which occurred at 10pm on Monday in London Terrace, followed an altercation at a nearby shop between the woman’s son and the shop owner.
A 24-year-old man, believed to be a resident of the house, had been cautioned for making racist and abusive comments.
The shop owner is believed to have mobilised a group of up to 30 family and friends to track the son down to his home in London Terrace.
The group of Asian men also smashed a car window in the street before dispersing when police arrived at the scene.
Last night, none of the group had been traced and police were making house-to-house inquiries.
A spokeswoman for Lancashire Constabulary said: “This was not a random incident.
"An investigation is ongoing.”
