SIX people were arrested after a fight which left a 25 year-old man from Redbridge seriously injured.

The man, who has not been named, was left with wounds to his face and arms after the attack, which took place in Brentwood, Essex, in the early hours of yesterday (Monday) morning.

Another man, aged 26, received a serious facial injury during the incident, in Crown Street.

Both men were taken to Queen's Hospital in Romford, where the 25-year-old was released after treatment.

The 26-year-old may now need facial surgery because of the severity of his wound.

Three of those arrested, all men from East London, remain in custody for questioning.

Three other people have since been released.
