Two men accused of taking part in a mass brawl that left three people critically injured will face trial in September.

Kristian-Gheorge Culeci, 25, and Bogdan Moboianu, 26, both of no fixed abode, will appear at Wood Green Crown Court for a four-day trial in September.

The pair were arrested for their alleged part in a violent early-hours fight involving between ten and 15 men outside La Gogu bar, in Nether Street, Finchley Central, on May 22.

Five people were taken to hospital, two of whom suffered what police described as “life-changing or life-threatening injuries”, while a third was also left in a critical condition.

Mr Culeci faces charges of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and violent disorder, while Mr Moboianu faces one count of violent disorder.

The pair have appeared in court on four occasions since their arrest, most recently on July 26 when a trial was scheduled to begin on September 2.

La Gogu Bar had its alcohol licence revoked for several days after the incident but it was reinstated once the owner met tighter conditions, including the installation of CCTV.
