Police have arrested two people within hours of finding a man who was attacked with a baseball bat at the roadside.
The 41-year-old victim was found off the A614 near the petrol station at Redhill roundabout at around 9.20pm yesterday.
The man, who was reportedly hit with a baseball bat and kicked, was taken to hospital but his injuries were not life-threatening or life-altering.
Officers investigating the incident have today arrested a 35-year-old man and a 30-year-old woman on suspicion of wounding with intent, in connection with the incident. They remain in custody.
Detective Sergeant Matt Dumbrell, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “Weapon-related violent offences are taken extremely seriously and officers moved swiftly to arrest two people in connection with this incident.
“This was an isolated incident which is believed to have taken place following an argument between the victim and the suspects who are known to each other.
“We are still keen to speak to anyone who may have witnessed anything suspicious on the A614 southbound last night, or may have any dash-cam footage. Please call Nottinghamshire Police on 101, quoting incident number 759 of 8 May 2021.”
