In the light of this

Does this make sense:


"At one point, two customers started arguing agressively with each other.

In the light of this, two shop assistants, positioned in two points of the shop, intervened, and attended the two customers each in their own post."



Note: By 'post', I mean the spot where they worked; anyway, I'm more interested in knowing whether 'in the light of this' makes any sense in this contexxt.

THANK YOU.
