An investigation is under way after a man suffered a head injury in a suspected assault in Nottingham.

Police were called to Newstead Grove in the Arboretum area at about 02:40 BST on Thursday, and a cordon was put in place.

The man was taken to hospital for treatment to an injury which Nottinghamshire Police said was not believed to be life-threatening.

Officers have appealed for anyone who may have seen the altercation to contact them.

Det Sgt Simon Carter said: "A man was left with a nasty head injury that thankfully wasn't more serious following an altercation.

"We are still in the early stages of our investigation but are currently working to the theory that he sustained this injury after being assaulted.

"While this took place in the early hours of the morning, there may have been a passerby who witnessed something happen but hasn't reported it yet.

"Likewise, someone could have inadvertently recorded the incident on their dashcam or doorbell camera or may just have some information that could assist our investigation."
