We said

Thank you for your query on recorded incidents of affray.  

We do not specifically hold data on incidents of affray. However, in Table A4a of our Appendix Tables for our Quarterly Crime bulletin, you can find police recorded incidents on public order offences including "Public fear, alarm or distress", "Violent disorder" and "Racially or religiously aggravated public fear, alarm or distress". This data may be useful to your query.  

The Ministry of Justice publishes an Outcomes by Offence tool every quarter, which lists the prosecutions, convictions and sentencing outcomes including by affray up to the year ending June 2023.  You can contact the Ministry of Justice for further information at ESD@justice.gov.uk
