A man was found in the street badly injured last night.

POLICE IN NEWRY have arrested two men and a woman following an incident in the Edward Street area yesterday evening.

A passing police patrol discovered a badly injured man in Edward Steeet at around 6.30pm. It was initially unclear how the man had come to sustain his injuries, however officers conducted an immediate search of the area and arrested two men, both aged 29, in a nearby flat.

Both men remain in custody and are helping police with their enquiries.

The injured man, who is in his 30s, was taken to hospital to be treated for injuries to his face, head and body.
