A man who was arrested after a brawl on London Street in which another man was seriously injured has been bailed.

Police were called to London Street at 1.16am on Tuesday after reports a fight had broken out.

It is understood that a rough sleeper was attacked by two other men, and when he fought back he was hit over the head with a bag of cans.

Officers arrived at the scene, and the injured man was taken to hospital.

He has since been discharged.

A man in his 30s was arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm and was taken to Wymondham Police Investigation Centre for questioning.

He has now been released on bail until November 20 and no other arrests have been made.

A cordon was put up around two separate areas in the street, one around a bin outside HSBC and another on Little London Street, where the man is believed to have been sleeping rough.

Police remained at the scene until around 2.30pm after a forensics team had worked to capture evidence from the scuffle.

Items believed to belong to the man, which were near the cordon, including a sleeping bag, a roll-up mat, and a shopping bag, were taken away.

Onlookers passing through the busy city street were shocked to see the scene.

Blood was seen on the floor outside Sostrene Grene.
