Two Lowestoft men arrested following an assault in Bevan Street East

Two arrests have been made after a man was left with serious injuries to his face and head in an assault in Lowestoft.

The victim, in his 20s, was unloading a van with another male yesterday in Bevan Street East between 8.45am and 8.55am when they were approached by two men.

One of the men is reported to have punched the victim several times in the head, resulting in him falling into the van he was unloading.

The victim later had to go to Accident and Emergency at James Paget Hospital having suffered serious injuries to his face and head.

The assault is believed to have followed an argument between the victim and a man in the High Street earlier that morning.

In the early hours of this morning, police arrested two men, both in their 20s and from Lowestoft, in connection with the incident.

They were taken to Great Yarmouth Police Investigation Centre for questioning where they remain.

Police would like to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the incident or anyone who may have information.

They should contact East CID at Lowestoft Police on 101 quoting reference 37/30268/22.
