A second man who was arrested after a 19-year-old was taken to hospital on Christmas Day with a serious head injury, has been bailed by police.

Officers were called to a disturbance at the Esso petrol station in Milton Road, Gravesend, at around 11pm.

A 34-year-old man, of no fixed address, was arrested last Thurday on suspicion of assault.

On Boxing Day a 25-year-old from Northfleet was arrested on the same offence.

He has since been released pending further inquiries.

The victim, 19, from London was taken to a hospital in the capital after suffering a serious injury.

James Walker police spokesman said the second man had been bailed pending further inquiries until Thursday, January 3.
