Two men have been arrested after another man was seriously assaulted on Christmas Day.

The 22-year-old suffered "significant" head injuries in the attack on a street in Worksop, said Nottinghamshire Police.

Paramedics and police officers were called to Newcastle Street shortly after 18:00 GMT and the unconscious victim was taken to hospital.

The two arrested men, aged 24 and 33, remain in police custody.

Police said the man was attacked at a bus stop along the street.
