Police are appealing for information after a man was seriously injured in an assault outside a pub in Nottinghamshire.

Emergency services were called to Main Street, Huthwaite, near the Market Inn, at about 21:20 BST on Sunday.

Nottinghamshire Police said a 31-year-old man had been arrested on suspicion of affray and remained in custody.

The victim, a man in his 30s, was taken to hospital with "serious injuries" after what was believed to be an "isolated incident".

Det Insp Matt Scott said: "Officers are following a number of lines of inquiry and residents can expect to see a police presence in the area during the rest of the day.

"We believe this was an isolated incident, but understand people in the village may be concerned. I'd urge them to speak to an officer."

Detectives said they were analysing CCTV in the area and called for witnesses to come forward.

The Market Inn said it was closed on Monday "out of respect due to what's happened".
