A 19-year-old man suffered head and facial injuries in a violent incident in Malton.
The incident started in a flat and spilled out into the street near The Gate Inn, in Yorkersgate, at about 10.45pm on Saturday.
Two local men, aged 23 and 25, were arrested nearby. They have been released on police bail while inquiries continue.
The injured man was taken by ambulance to York Hospital where he was treated and discharged.
PC Andy Rogers, of Malton police, said: “The area around The Gate Inn was fairly busy at the time of the assault. Therefore we are hopeful that a number of people witnessed what happened and possibly even captured it on their mobile phones.
“Please, if you can help the investigation, it is very important that you contact the police as soon as possible. At the very least, please pass information anonymously to Crimestoppers.”
