TWO party-goers dressed as a pantomime horse and cow were being hunted by police last night over a drunken Halloween fight.
The bizarre pair were caught up in a brawl with two other men and a woman after a fancy dress party.
During the violent clash, the group spilled on to a main road and disrupted traffic.
One man was taken to hospital where he was detained overnight with injuries described as “not -threatening”.
Last night a police spokesman appealed for witnesses to the incident in Nairn.
A Northern Constabulary spokesman said: “Two of the men were in fancy dress outfits – one was dressed as a cow wearing a brown hat and the other as a horse wearing a straw hat.
“Both men are described as stocky/heavily built.”
Another police source told the Sunday Mail: “My colleagues are deadly serious about this… this is no laughing matter.”
The booze-fuelled rammy took place between the town’s Old Parish Church and The Farmers’ Showfield.
The fancy dress thugs had earlier been at a Halloween party in the Braeval Hotel’s Bandstand Bar – but did not win prizes .
A barmaid, who declined to be named, said: “They were in here and they were having a great time. They were mixing with the other customers but left quite early.
“I don’t know where they went from here. They looked great but they did not win a prize.
“All I know is that they were local and really enjoying Halloween.”
