A second arrest has been made in connection with a "serious assault" in Derbyshire.

Derbyshire Police said officers found a man in his 40s unconscious near Ours Bar and Lounge in Creswell on Saturday at about 01:30 GMT.

He suffered a serious injury and remains in hospital in a "critical condition".

A 24-year-old man was arrested on Sunday on suspicion of assault and bailed while inquiries continue.

It follows the arrest, on Saturday, of a 25-year-old man, also on suspicion of assault. The suspect remains on bail.

Officers are continuing to appeal to anyone who was in the Ours bar that night to come forward, adding that they are also looking to trace a van "which is believed to have driven down the road and stopped nearby at the time".
