A man has been arrested and remains in police custody
An investigation is underway after a man was left fighting for his life in hospital in what police believe to be from a punch outside a bar in Bridlington.
In a statement released today, Humberside Police said:
“A man has been arrested and officers are appealing for witnesses following reports of an assault at a bar on Prince Street in Bridlington this morning (Sunday 23 February).
We were called at around 1.30am to reports that a man had been found unconscious after he is believed to have been punched by another man, who is then believed to have subsequently been removed from the premises by security.
Emergency services attended, and a 22-year-old man was taken to hospital to receive treatment to injuries that are thought to be life threatening at this time.
Detective Chief Inspector Nicole Elliott said: “We are in the early stages of our investigation, but I can confirm that following enquiries so far, a 31-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm in connection with the assault. He remains in our custody whilst enquiries continue, and we look to establish the full circumstances around the incident.
“A scene guard remains in place on Prince Street to allow officers to carry out multiple lines of enquiry including reviewing CCTV and conducting enquiries around the area.
“Those within the area can expect to see an increased number of officers and I would ask anyone with concerns to please speak to them.
“Anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has any information that may assist officers with their enquiries, including CCTV or mobile footage from leading up to and following the incident, is urged to call our non-emergency number 101 quoting log 52 of 23 February.”
