Two people have been arrested as a man was left with serious injuries after being attacked at a pub in a seaside village.

The incident happened at the Never Say Die pub in Broadway, Jaywick, at about 10.15pm on Saturday, Essex Police said.

Police said a large disturbance happened outside the pub, with a number of people involved in a fight.

A man suffered injuries that were initially thought to be life-threatening, but are no longer believed to be so.
