Police have made an arrest after a man was attacked with a baseball bat in the street.

Officers were called to Stapleford Lane in Toton shortly after 2pm 29th October after the attack was witnessed by passing motorists.

The Response cops found the victim injured on the side of the road. They administered first aid before an ambulance arrived and took the victim to Queen’s Medical Centre.

His injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.

Following inquiries, a 24-year-old suspect spoke to police on the phone and later handed himself in at Central Police Station in Nottingham, where he was arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm with intent.

He has since been bailed with conditions while the investigation continues.

Detective Inspector Paul Lefford, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “We will not tolerate this sort of violent disorder on our streets and are working tirelessly to bring those responsible to justice.

“We have arrested a suspect but our inquiries are ongoing.

“I would ask that anyone who saw what happened, has any relevant information, or has CCTV, dash-cam or mobile phone footage that could assist us comes forward.”
