Three men from Braintree have been taken to hospital with head and facial injuries after being assaulted in the high street which has been closed while police carry out investigations
One of the men, a 26-year-old, suffered head injuries which were serious and he is currently in a stable condition after the attack at 12.40am today (October 12).
It is believed that the disturbance had started in Bar Sport in the High Street before spilling out into the road.
Braintree high street has been closed while police carry out forensic investigations at the scene.
A number of witnesses have already been spoken to but the area was busy at the time and detectives would also like to speak to anyone else who saw what happened either in the bar or outside.
They can call Braintree CID on 101 or ring Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. Police are hopeful that the High Street will be gradually reopened as the day progresses.
