Police have given an update on the three men arrested after a man was attacked and left with serious injuries in Coventry.

Officers were initially called to reports of a stabbing in Stretton Avenue, Willenhall, shortly before 9pm last night.

However, they found that although the 44-year-old man had not been stabbed, he had suffered severe facial injuries after being assaulted.

He was taken to hospital where he remains in a serious but not life-threatening condition.
