Police have arrested two 18-year-old men after a woman was found injured in a busy road in Leicester.

Officers were called to the incident in Corporation Road at 14:54 BST on Sunday.

The woman, in her 30s, was taken to hospital and remains in a critical condition, according to Leicestershire Police.

A man from Leicester was arrested on Tuesday night on suspicion of robbery, causing grievous bodily harm and theft of a motor vehicle, and a second man - also from the city - was arrested on Wednesday afternoon on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm and robbery.

Both men have been released on bail.

The force said the theft offence connected to the first suspect related to a moped believed to have been stolen from the New Parks area on Wednesday 28 May.

Police added the woman had been riding an e-bike but this was not at the scene when they arrived.

Inquiries are continuing into how the woman was injured and anyone with information is asked to come forward.
