Police are appealing for witnesses after a teenager was left with a serious head injury when he was assaulted by a group of men in Lincoln.
The 19-year-old man was walking on Brayford Wharf east, under the railway crossing bridge when he was assaulted by a group of between six and 10 men.
He was taken to hospital after suffering a serious head injury.

New footbridge installed over South Delph
A 40m-long, 38-tonne pedestrian and cycle bridge crossing the South Delph has been put in place as part of the new Lincoln Eastern Bypass.
The new bridge connects the Eastern Bypass to the nearby Sustrans cycle path, providing what Lincolnshire County Council says is a "safe and accessible" route for cyclists and pedestrians.
Councillor Richard Davies, who oversees highways at Lincolnshire County Council, said: "Now that it's in place, the team will complete the approach embankments and carry out surfacing works.
"Elsewhere on site, we have two other pedestrian bridges being built as part of the project, at Greetwell and Bloxholm, as well as a new underpass at Lincoln Road."
Mobility scooter pods installed on Lincoln estate
Mobility scooter pods have been installed in part of Lincoln after a rise in the number of residents using them.
The 18 pods, at Broomhill Court, Birchwood, are lockable and have lighting and a charging point.
They have been introduced by City of Lincoln Council because of the need for storage and charging facilities.
Previously, residents had to charge their scooters in communal hallways or leave them outside, which led to safety and security concerns.

More Tasers for Humberside Police officers
More Humberside Police officers are to begin carrying Tasers after a successful grant from the Home Office.
The force has been successful with its funding bid for £99,000 to pay for an extra 120 devices, which it will hand out to specially trained members of staff.
Currently, Humberside Police has 150 Tasers, with an 80% increase expected thanks to the funding grant.

Collision hotspot under spotlight after four deaths
Ways to cut the number of collisions on a stretch of a road in Lincolnshire which has seen several fatalities in the decade since it opened are due to be examined by councillors later.
Four people have been killed on the A16 Crowland Bypass since the road opened in 2010.
A Lincolnshire coroner has described one particular junction on the road, known as The Radar Junction, as "horrendous" and has called for a roundabout to be installed instead.
However, a roundabout would cost more than £2m, according to Lincolnshire County Council, and instead councillors are looking at banning right hand turns at the junction with the B1040.
About 60 residents, farmers and businesses have objected to the proposed changes.
The council's planning committee is expected to meet later to discuss the issue.
Lincolnshire police force's £140k Taser boost
An extra £140,000 is to be given to the Lincolnshire police force so it can buy 170 new Tasers for its officers.
The grant is the sixth highest amount for a police force in England outside of London and comes from a £10m pot provided by Home Secretary Priti Patel.
The cash will cover the cost of buying the new Tasers, but the money for batteries, holsters and training has been included by Police and Crime Commissioner Marc Jones in the budgets for the remainder of this year and next.
Forces in England and Wales will receive a total of £6.5m to purchase a total of 7,923 devices.
The remainder of the £10m has been allocated to additional training for Taser instructors and £3.3m to tackle serious violence and county lines drug gangs.

A man suffered life-threatening injuries as a result of an "altercation" with another man after leaving a pub in Grimsby at the weekend, police say.
The incident happened at about midnight on Saturday when a man and woman left the Valiant pub in Wingate Road.
At the same time, another man who is also believed to have been at the same event, also left and followed them across the road.
For reasons not yet known, there was an altercation and the first man fell to the floor, according to police.
He was immediately taken to hospital, where his condition is described as critical.

Northern rail in government control after train chaos
The government says it wants to give train users "more powers over their railways" as it starts running services previously operated by Arriva Rail North.
The franchise changed hands on Sunday after the move was announced in January following widespread commuter chaos.
Passengers have experienced regular delays and cancellations since a timetable change in May 2018. They also faced strikes and an ageing fleet of trains.
Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham will be among a panel of northern political leaders who will advise the government's operation.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said there would be "no quick fix".
German firm Arriva, which had been due to run Northern services until 2025, previously said problems had been largely due to "external factors" such as infrastructure.
A Department for Transport spokeswoman said tackling overcrowding would be a priority, with "new technology being trialled to identify crowding pinch points".
Two new arrests over suspected shooting
A further two people have been arrested after a 24-year-old man was found with a suspected gunshot wound in Lincolnshire.
It's thought the injured man was discovered by a motorist at about 21:20 on Friday evening.
At first, police thought the incident had happened in Boston, but they now think it happened in the Spalding area.
The man remains in a serious condition in hospital.
The latest arrests, of two men from the Huntingdon area of Cambridgeshire, brings the total number of people arrested in connection with this incident to seven.
All those arrested, six men and a woman, remain in custody, police say.
