A man who was seriously injured after he was assaulted in Leicester city centre last week has been discharged from hospital.

The man, aged 36, was injured outside McDonalds in East Gates at 10.45pm on Friday.

Police believe he was involved in two separate verbal confrontations with two men before he was assaulted and knocked unconscious by one of them.

He was taken to the Leicester Royal Infirmary but later transferred to the Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham. Police confirmed today he has been released.

A 23-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm has been released on police bail pending further inquiries.

In a statement, Leicestershire Police said: "If you were in the area of East Gates on Friday evening and either witnessed the assault or the events leading up to it and haven't yet spoken to officers, we would like to hear from you."

Contact Det Sgt Dave Speight on 101, quoting incident number 759 of 13 May.
