A 29-year-old man was arrested but later released after a person was found seriously injured at a property in Loughborough.
Police were called to Russell Street just after 9am on Sunday, September 24, following reports of a disturbance at an address in the street.

“I followed the sirens and saw that there was a lot of police cars, around about 18-20 vehicles were heading towards Russell Street, and that an area near the Taylor Bell Foundry had been cordoned off.
“Also the shop on the corner of Russell Street and Moore Lane was cordoned off. “I could see blood on the floor.” A police spokesperson said: “If you have any information about the incident, or were in the area at round 9am on Sunday and saw two men running away from the street, call 101 quoting incident 253 of 24 September.”
