Police have been given more time to question six men arrested in connection with an attack on a city restaurant.
Officers were at Leicester Magistrates' Court this morning to apply for an extension to custody time, which would allow them to hold the suspects for a total of 96 hours.
The men were arrested on Monday night in connection with an incident which left three men in hospital.
Some 40 men burst into the Moghul Durbar restaurant, in East Park Road, Spinney Hills, Leicester, at about 9pm on Monday.
They smashed windows and assaulted people inside.
The injured staff and customers were taken to the Leicester Royal Infirmary where they were treated for both serious and minor injuries.
Police said that three men are still being treated and are in stable conditions.
Chief Superintendant Rob Nixon, police commander for the city, said: "A dedicated team of officers continue to work extended hours speaking to the victims and those people inside the restaurant.
"Detectives are also viewing CCTV footage and scenes of crime officers are carrying out forensic examinations of the scene."
Anyone with any information can call police on 101.
Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers, on 0800 555 111.
