POLICE have been called to Bradford stag or hen-dos seven times in the past two years and there are some bizarre reports.

The findings come from a Freedom of Information (FOI) request sent to West Yorkshire Police about incidents they have attended which were logged containing the words “stag”, “stags”, “hen”, and “hens” since the start of 2021.

There were seven across that time and police provided a description of the situation for each.

One was in the Shipley area, back in May this year.

The first part of the record is hidden but it involved 10 females and a man, with the incident type described as “crime-related”.

The record said: “10 females were there and they were a bit drunk and on a hen do.

“They asked him to sit down with them, which he did.

“One of the suspects has then put their hand on his private parts and their wrist was rubbing against his testicles.”

Meanwhile, exactly a year earlier, officers were called to a transport-related crime.

They were told a “group of lads” – believed to be on a stag-do – had been drinking in a pub since 2pm and last orders were called early due to their antics.

The caller also told police that the men then began drinking in their vehicles in the carpark and believed they were going to try drive them.

Officers arrived at the scene and the record shows they found around 12 to 14 men in the carpark.

There have been occasions where officers have turned up and realised the situation is more serious than a simple stag or hen-do.

Police received a public safety and welfare call to the Toller ward in August last year and found a group of 30 people “seemingly ganging up on one male” who was in his boxers.

The record said the gang were throwing white powder on him.

It finished: “Doesn’t look like a stag-do. Look like they’re targeting the male.”

But in other instances, police were satisfied that individuals were being pranked as part of a stag-do, rather than actually abused or attacked.

Officers attended a crime-related report in the Outer City ward in October 2021 and the report said: “He seems to be ‘a willing participant’, as in a stag-do or prank rather than an assault.”

That same month, in the Bolton and Undercliffe ward, police came across a stag-do where a prank involving ropes, eggs and flour was underway.

The Telegraph & Argus approached West Yorkshire Police for comment but it declined.
