Three men have been arrested after two others were injured during a fight in Sutton Bridge on Friday evening, Lincolnshire police said.

The force said it was called just after 19:50 BST to reports of a fight on Bridge Road near the Curlew Centre, which then spread near to New Road.

A man in his 20's was taken to hospital with injuries caused by a knife. Police said his condition was not believed to be life threatening.

Three men, aged 20, 28 and 37, were arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and remain in custody.

Ch Insp Richard Nethercott said: "I think the local community will be concerned when they hear the details of the incident last night.

"I can reassure people that we have those involved in custody and our officers will be speaking to them over the course of the day and maybe longer."

The force appealed for any witnesses to the incident to get in touch.
