Officer injured as hundreds of people stampede from nightclub

WICHITA FALLS -- Two people were arrested after Wichita Falls Police responded to a large incident at a nightclub early Sunday.

Just before 3 a.m. police were sent to Club Phinesse in the 2500 block of Sheppard Access Road, for a large disturbance. As they approached, they saw dozens of people running away from the club, some screaming, according to court documents.

As they entered the front door, officers saw people being trampled to the point that some people were losing consciousness. One officer estimated there was a minimum of 300 people in the building, all trying to pour out the entrance.

Once the officers were inside, they saw “an all-out brawl” with dozens of people fist-fighting.
