Detectives in Kirklees have made three arrests as part of their investigation into an incident which resulted in a man being assaulted and vehicles being damaged.

Kirklees CID are continuing enquiries today and are continuing to appeal for witnesses after an incident in the car park on Cliffe Street, Dewsbury at abut 1am on Thursday May 12.

A 21-year-old Dewsbury man was assaulted in the incident and his black Honda Civic car was also damaged by a group of men.
