The victim, a 28-year-old man, was attacked in the Newgate Lane area on Monday, July 18, at about 9.30pm.

He was treated in hospital for serious head and facial injuries and is now recovering.

Three men have now been charged in connection with the incident.

Kyle Gregg, aged 33, of Gladstone Street, Mansfield, 26-year-old Thomas Payne, of Birkland Street, Mansfield, and Macs Watson, 23, of Mellish Road, Langold, have been charged with causing grievous bodily harm. Watson has also been charged with possessing an offensive weapon.

They appeared at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on Friday and were remanded into custody to appear at Nottingham Crown Court next month.
