Arrest made after man assaulted at Kelsey’s nightclub

A man has been arrested following an assault inside Kelsey’s nightclub in Leamington Spa last month, that left one person with serious head injuries. 

Warwickshire Police reported that a man had been left with “cuts to his head” after the assault, which took place on 11 August at around 2:50am. 

The bar and nightclub, situated on High Street in south Leamington, is a popular destination for Warwick students and societies, frequently hosting ‘circles’ on a Wednesday night. 

Following the incident, Warwickshire Police launched an appeal and statement on its Twitter/X page and website, asking the public for any information and mobile phone footage that may have been relevant to the incident.   

  The statement at the time read: “Warwickshire Police is appealing for information and any relevant mobile phone footage following an assault inside a Leamington nightclub.  

The victim – a man in his 30s – suffered cuts to his head. His injuries are serious but not life-threatening
