TWO MEN ARRESTED FOR ATTEMPED MURDER

Police investigating an incident in Long Eaton in the early hours of Saturday morning October 14th are appealing for information. A call was received from a member of the public at around 4am reporting that a man had been injured in a car park on Orchard Street. When officers arrived an 18-year-old man was found with serious injuries and was taken to the Queens Medical Centre. West Gate and Gibb Street Car Park were cordoned off while a forensic team examined the scene. West Gate was reopened at 1pm but the Car Park remained closed. Detective Inspector Graham Prince said: “It appears that there has been some sort of altercation between two groups of men in or near to Manhattan’s bar on Clifford Street. This then continued in the car park off of Orchard Street where an 18-year-old man has allegedly been hit by a car. I would like to speak to anyone that was in Manhattan’s or around the Orchard Street area between 3am and 4am on Saturday morning who may have information that would assist with the investigation.” Two men, aged 18 and 33 both from the Nottingham area, have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and have since been released under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101 quoting reference number 17000443076. You can also call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. 0115
