A 48-year-old man has been hospitalized with serious injuries following an assault in Plymouth city centre on Mayflower Street. Police responded at approximately 6:10 PM on August 27, and three individuals—a 51-year-old man, a 33-year-old man, and a 44-year-old woman—have been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm with intent.
