Det Sgt Dave Prest, of Nottinghamshire Police's criminal investigation department, said the victim was lucky to have escaped ‘life threatening or altering’ injuries.

He said: "This was a violent attack which has seen a man taken to hospital where he is being treated for injuries which thankfully are not life threatening or altering.

"Response teams were quickly at the scene and made swift arrests. We have been conducting enquiries through the night and the three men remain in custody while our investigation continues.

"This violence will not be tolerated in Nottinghamshire."
