A man was taken to hospital with a suspected fractured skull after two men were involved in a fight in Broad Street in the early hours of Sunday morning. Officers attended the scene just before 12.30am and found two men in their early 20s with injuries including severe bruising to their heads and broken teeth. One of the men was taken to hospital with a suspected fractured skull but his injuries are not as serious as was first feared.

Inspector Pete Gebbie said: "This incident, although unusual in Ross, was nasty and two men - aged 20 and 26 - were arrested at the scene on suspicion of assault. These two men have since been released on police bail pending further enquiries. "Although we have made two arrests we are still keen to speak to anyone who believes they may have information about this incident. "Reports suggest that a number of people were in and around Broad Street when this disorder occurred and therefore any potential witnesses we have not yet spoken to are asked to come forward. Please can I ask anyone who witnessed the events of yesterday morning, or who has information about them, to contact West Mercia Police as soon as possible on 101 or 0300 333 3000, quoting reference number 0022S 080712. Alternatively, please remember that Crimestoppers can also be called anonymously on 0800 555 111 if you'd rather leave information without identifying yourself.
