Detectives are appealing for witnesses to come forward after three people were arrested in connection with a large fight in Scraptoft.
Police were called to Grantham Road at around 11pm on Boxing Day (Friday 26 December) following a report of a fight inside licensed premises which had spilled out into the street.
When officers arrived they found that three men – one in his 50s, one in his 40s and one in his 20s – had suffered head and facial injuries, some of which had been caused by a hammer.
To date, three men have been arrested in connection with the incident:
A 35-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assaulting a person thereby occasioning them actual bodily harm, assault by beating and affray.
A 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assaulting a person thereby occasioning them actual bodily harm and affray.
A 21-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm with intent, assaulting a person thereby occasioning them actual bodily harm and affray.
All three have since been released on bail while the investigation continues.
Detective Constable Megan Wolstenholme, the investigating officer, said: “While three people have been arrested, our enquiries are ongoing and I’m appealing for anyone with information who might be able to help.
“In particular I’d like to speak to anyone who has mobile phone or dashcam footage of the incident. I’d also like to speak to anyone who was in the area at the time but has not yet contacted police.
Anything you’re able to provide or tell us could help our investigation.”
