The men were sleeping in their tent in Hull when a gang of four men set upon in the early hours of Tuesday October 9, say Humberside Police.

It was is thought that a group of four men had assaulted the pair in the tent around 2.30am before returning at 5am and setting upon them again.

One of the victims sustained a fractured spine, a fractured arm, bruising and facial injuries and required hospital treatment.

The other man sustained bruised ribs and facial injuries.
