Two men have been arrested after a man was left critically injured in a street assault.

A 39-year-old was left with head injuries after the attack on Hart Lane in Hartlepool, near the junction with Serpentine Road, on Saturday at 18:45 BST.

Two 24-year-old men have been arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm with intent, the force added.

They were later released on bail.
