Three men, aged 19, 21 and 31, have been released on police bail pending further enquiries after a 19-year-old man was taken to hospital with “serious head injuries” following a serious town centre assault.

The three men were arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm (GBH) after officers from Northamptonshire Police were called to reports of a fight in Gold Street at around 5.45am on Saturday morning (April 13).
