A worker at Jaguar Land Rover ’s Solihull factory has allegedly been sacked and another suspended after an astonishing brawl left a man and woman needing hospital treatment.
The incident began when two men working for sub-contractors at the plant are said to have begun fighting with each other near the assembly line.
Sources claim two women and a man from a different sub-contractor company tried to intervene - but were allegedly attacked as the brawl then escalated.
The man allegedly suffered a head wound after being hit with a drill, while one of the women sustained an arm injury and the other woman was spat at.
At the height of the alleged disorder it is claimed a large number of workers had crowded into the assembly line area at the Lode Lane plant before security guards moved in.
Sources say one worker was sacked and another suspended after the Monday brawl, which took place at 5.30pm.
Yet the two injured people were allegedly not sent to hospital for another THREE HOURS, despite their injuries.
A source said: “The two workers were fighting each other when the man and women tried to step in.
“But the man suffered a head injury after apparently being hit with a drill bit. One woman suffered an arm injury and another was spat at. Threats were also made.
“I was told the two injured people had wanted to go to hospital after the incident but they were not sent for another three hours.”
It is understood the man received hospital treatment for concussion and the woman for an arm injury. They had not returned to work yesterday - but were allegedly told they could not claim it as a sick day.
“They have not even been given the names of the two men who were originally fighting, so they cannot make a complaint to police,” the source said.
“The injured workers were off work on Tuesday, yet they were apparently told they cannot have the day off sick, but as an ‘absence’.”
