Man assaulted in Derby City Centre

An appeal for witnesses has been launched after a man received injuries to his leg, chest and back following an assault.

Officers in the city centre were alerted to a man that had been assaulted at around 2.45am this morning on Victoria Street.

The victim’s injuries required hospital treatment but are not believed to be life threatening.

Two 16-year-olds have been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and remain in police custody.

It is thought that the youths were part of a larger group of boys and girls, who we would like to speak to. 

A scene that was previously in place on Green Lane and Victoria Street has now been removed and the roads have now been re-opened.
