Police are continuing to probe a "disturbance" at a Yarm home that left a man in hospital with serious injuries. 

Emergency services were called to Puffin Court on November 17 after a man was found injured inside shortly before 8.20am. 

The 30-year-old suffered serious head injuries and was taken to the James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough.

Following the incident, a 38-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault and a 32-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of section 18 wounding with intent and possession of a class C drug. Both have since been released on conditional bail. 

Cleveland Police has today (December 15) confirmed that the victim has received hospital treatment and has since been discharged.

A spokesperson confirmed that enquiries remain ongoing. 

As reported, police taped off the front and back of the home following the incident, with pictures showing officers standing guard on either side.

White-suited investigators were seen on the street - which was branded as "normally quiet" by residents - into the afternoon.

The North East Ambulance Service (NEAS) previously confirmed it sent one crew to the scene alongside a doctor from the Great North Air Ambulance Service.

Residents told The Northern Echo they heard shouting around 8am before opening their doors to find police and ambulance crews.
