Officers arrested a man within five minutes of reports of an altercation in Colchester.
We were called to the incident in the High Street just before midnight on Friday 27 September.
A man had an injury to his head and was taken to hospital for treatment. It is not thought to be life-threatening or life-changing.
A 25 year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm and has been released on police bail. Our enquiries are on-going.
Detective Inspector Jason Scrivener said:
“Our investigation is continuing at pace.
"There were a lot of people in the area outside Coda and I would ask anyone who witnessed the incident or has any footage to get in touch.
"I understand this is concerning, but I want to reassure people that we believe this to be an isolated incident and our officers are working to understand the circumstances.”
